White Rim Sandstone (original) (raw)

The White Rim Sandstone is a sandstone geologic formation located in southeastern Utah. It is the last member of the Permian Cutler Group, and overlies the major Organ Rock Formation and Cedar Mesa Sandstone; and again overlies thinner units of the Elephant Canyon and Halgaito Formations. The White Rim is eponymous, as the sandstone is named for its prominent white color, and forms the rims of cliffs.
