Crossbed shifts

Just above the dropoff (previous photo), the walls of Puppet Draw show abrupt changes in flow direction of the sand between bedding planes.

 

Vertical faults through the sandstone show at least a dozen such bedding planes. Each sequence indicates different circumstances of flow, direction and sometimes mineralogy.

 

See next photo for wider angle view from this spot.
