Circular sandstone
This mound of Navajo sandstone curves into a semicircle and swirls around without regard to the usual horizontal lines of strata. The "cap" of lighter colored smooth sandstone here is also noteworthy, as it is at White Pocket.
I found it on the southern high-rise suburbs of the Lost City, Paria Plateau, Arizona on my second hike along the valley route to the Lost City. This spot is about 3.5 miles ENE of the popular White Pocket geological attraction. This layer of sandstone contains numerous exceptional examples of soft sediment deformation.
