The Painted Hills are one of the three units that comprise the John Day Fossil Beds. Take time to also visit the Clarno Unit, with Mars-like pillars formed by waterfalls and volcanic sludge, and the Sheep Rock Unit, where fossils of plants and animals like saber-toothed cats are on display at the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center. The hills get their name from the delicately colored stratifications in the soil and the yellows, golds, blacks and reds of the Painted Hills are best seen in the late afternoon. Tones and hue may appear to change from one visit to another, as the claystone differ with ever-changing light and moisture levels. Once you see them for yourself, it’s pretty easy to understand why the Painted Hills are one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon.
East exit of Zion National Park / past the Canyon overlook Trail -near and around Checkerboard Mesa : This famous formation was originally named so by Preston P. Patrow, the 3rd superintendent of Zion. Standing at 6,670 feet, it was named for its checkerboard appearance caused by th horizontal cross-bedding of ancient sand dunes and vertical cracking due to expansion and contraction of the sandstone during winter. The unusual crack pattern in the sandstone hills resemble a grid much like you would see on a checkerboard. \nDesert Bighorn, perfectly adapted to survive in severe desert climate are seen between Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel &  East Entrance.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas, USA: eroded cliff side - Geologic time periods marked by major changes in the fossil record - rock strata covering the Permian age, Triassic age, Miocene-Pliocene age and at the top the Quaternary age - this cliff includes the Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction boundary, colloquially known as the Great Dying, that took place about 248 million years ago. The extinction was caused by climate change. The main cause of extinction was the vast amount of carbon dioxide emitted by volcanic eruptions that created the Siberian Traps, which elevated global temperatures and acidified the oceans. Geological time scale, part of the Caprock Escarpment - Texas Panhandle.
