Abstract

This field-trip guide describes the common sedimentary structures that occur in eolian sands. The outcrops that are described occur in
the Navajo and Entrada Sandstones between the areas of Page, Arizona and St. George, Utah (figure I), but the sedimentary structures of these two sandstones are typical of most eolian deposits. The main part of the guide discusses the geologic setting and the origin of the various structures, and the road log discusses which structures are best displayed at selected outcrops.
