the colorado river had opened the landscape, revealing one of the most complete rock records on earth, spanning almost two billion years of earth history. to a geologist, a layered sequence of sedimentary rocks is a historical record to be read like a book. analyzing these rocks from the base to the top, we're sifting through a wealth of information about conditions at the earth's surface when the sediments were deposited. rock characteristics such as mineral composition, grain size and shape, structures within the rock, and even rock color, tell us a great deal about the climate, vegetation patterns, position of the shoreline, and the topography of the earth's surface in the geologic past. the challenge of sedimentary geology is interpreting these clues in the rocks. but we must first understand how sediment is formed and how it's transformed into solid rock. sediment is the product of mechanical and chemical weathering, and of erosion by wind... water... and ice. biological activity also plays a role. sediment may be deposited in the form of sand building up as a dune... or a beach.
