The Real Jurassic Park

can be found in the
deposition and preservation

of Navajo Sandstone. Dating
back to the Early Jurassic

situated on one continent
was a vast sand sea. Extreme

winds created towering dunes
of pure quartz sand

dwarfing modern Sahara. Migrating
avalanches over one another

laminating the dune surface
thus becoming more stable.

Changing over time
by climatic cycles

locking stories of time into
Navajo Sandstone and

forming the towering
Zion National Park cliffs.
