Church Rock, Arizona
This pipe plug is a part of the underground plumbing system of a long extinct Volcano, revealed by erosion, more pipes from the same system are visible in the back. Interestingly, the lava raising up is not mixed thoroughly and composed two distinct types, one dark, the other light. These pipes feed a large volcano, most likely a cone like stratovolcano. The red sandstone of the Comb Ridge monocline stretches across the background.
