  • The Kayenta Formation is a geological formation in the Glen Canyon Group that is spread across the Colorado Plateau province of the United States, including northern Arizona, northwest Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. Traditionally has been suggested as Sinemurian-Pliensbachian, but more recent dating of detrital zircons has yielded a depositional age of 183.7 ± 2.7 Ma, thus a Pliensbachian-Toarcian age is more likely A previous depth work recovered a solid Lower-Middle Pliensbachian age from measurements done in the . This rock formation is particularly prominent in southeastern Utah, where it is seen in the main attractions of a number of national parks and monuments. These include Zion National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, the San Rafael Swell, and Canyonlands National Park. The Kayenta Formation frequently appears as a thinner dark broken layer below Navajo Sandstone and above Wingate Sandstone (all three formations are in the same group). Together, these three formations can result in immense vertical cliffs of 2,000 feet (610 m) or more. Kayenta layers are typically red to brown in color, forming broken ledges. (en)
  • La Formation de Kayenta est une formation géologique, située près du Glen canyon dans le sud de l'Utah aux États-Unis qui s'est formée entre il y a 199,6 et 175,6 Ma, au cours du Jurassique inférieur. Cette formation rocheuse est particulièrement importante dans le sud de l'Utah, où on peut la voir comme attraction principale d'un certain nombre de parcs et monuments nationaux comme le Parc national de Zion ou encore le Parc national de Capitol Reef. Elle forme avec le Grès de Navajo, le et la le Glen Canyon Group. Cette formation géologique renferme de nombreux fossiles. (fr)
