Apollo Temple
Apollo Temple is a summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, in the southwestern United States. Ochoa Point and Apollo Temple are Grand Canyon.
See Ochoa Point and Apollo Temple
Arizona
Arizona (Hoozdo Hahoodzo; AlÄ á¹£onak) is a landlocked state in the Southwestern region of the United States.
Basalt
Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.
Bright Angel Shale
The Bright Angel Shale is one of five geological formations that comprise the Cambrian Tonto Group. It and the other formations of the Tonto Group outcrop in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, and parts of northern Arizona, central Arizona, southeast California, southern Nevada, and southeast Utah. The Bright Angel Shale consists of locally fossiliferous, green and red-brown, micaceous, fissile shale (mudstone) and siltstone with local, thicker beds of brown to tan sandstone and limestone. Ochoa Point and Bright Angel Shale are Grand Canyon.

Cambrian
The Cambrian is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.
Cardenas Basalt
The Cardenas Basalt, also known as either the Cardenas Lava or Cardenas Lavas, is a rock formation that outcrops over an area of about 310 km2 (120 mi2) in the eastern Grand Canyon, Coconino County, Arizona.
See Ochoa Point and Cardenas Basalt
Coconino County, Arizona
Coconino County is a county in the North-Central part of the U.S. state of Arizona.
See Ochoa Point and Coconino County, Arizona
Colorado Plateau
The Colorado Plateau is a physiographic and desert region of the Intermontane Plateaus, roughly centered on the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States.
See Ochoa Point and Colorado Plateau
Colorado River
The Colorado River (Río Colorado) is one of the principal rivers (along with the Rio Grande) in the Southwestern United States and in northern Mexico.
See Ochoa Point and Colorado River
Dolomite (rock)
Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2.
See Ochoa Point and Dolomite (rock)
Dox Formation
The Dox Formation, also known as the Dox Sandstone, is a Mesoproterozoic rock formation that outcrops in the eastern Grand Canyon, Coconino County, Arizona.
See Ochoa Point and Dox Formation
Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States.
See Ochoa Point and Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon National Park, located in northwestern Arizona, is the 15th site in the United States to have been named as a national park. Ochoa Point and Grand Canyon National Park are Grand Canyon.
See Ochoa Point and Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon Supergroup
The Grand Canyon Supergroup is a Mesoproterozoic to a Neoproterozoic sequence of sedimentary strata, partially exposed in the eastern Grand Canyon of Arizona. Ochoa Point and Grand Canyon Supergroup are Grand Canyon.
See Ochoa Point and Grand Canyon Supergroup
Great Unconformity
Of the many unconformities (gaps) observed in geological strata, the term Great Unconformity is frequently applied to either the unconformity observed by James Hutton in 1787 at Siccar Point in Scotland,Rance, H (1999) QCC Press, New York or that observed by John Wesley Powell in the Grand Canyon in 1869.
See Ochoa Point and Great Unconformity
Kaibab Plateau
The Kaibab Plateau is a plateau almost entirely in Coconino County, Arizona (but extending slightly north into Kane County, Utah) in the Southwestern United States. Ochoa Point and Kaibab Plateau are Grand Canyon.
See Ochoa Point and Kaibab Plateau
Mesoproterozoic
The Mesoproterozoic Era is a geologic era that occurred from.
See Ochoa Point and Mesoproterozoic
Mudstone
Mudstone, a type of mudrock, is a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds.
Nankoweap Formation
The Neoproterozoic Nankoweap Formation (pronounced Nan' coe weep), is a thin sequence of distinctive red beds that consist of reddish brown and tan sandstones and subordinate siltstones and mudrocks that unconformably overlie basaltic lava flows of the Cardenas Basalt of the Unkar Group and underlie the sedimentary strata of the Galeros Formation of the Chuar Group.
See Ochoa Point and Nankoweap Formation
Sandstone
Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.
Sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation.
See Ochoa Point and Sedimentary rock
Shale
Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock formed from mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolin, Al2Si2O5(OH)4) and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite.
Siltstone
Siltstone, also known as aleurolite, is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed mostly of silt.
Southwestern United States
The Southwestern United States, also known as the American Southwest or simply the Southwest, is a geographic and cultural region of the United States that includes Arizona and New Mexico, along with adjacent portions of California, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.
See Ochoa Point and Southwestern United States
Tapeats Sandstone
Except where underlain by the Sixtymile Formation, the Tapeats Sandstone is the Cambrian geologic formation that is the basal geologic unit of the Tonto Group. Ochoa Point and Tapeats Sandstone are Grand Canyon.

United States Geological Survey
The United States Geological Survey (USGS), founded as the Geological Survey, is an agency of the United States government whose work spans the disciplines of biology, geography, geology, and hydrology.

Unkar Group
The Unkar Group is a sequence of strata of Proterozoic age that are subdivided into five geologic formations and exposed within the Grand Canyon, Arizona, Southwestern United States.
See Ochoa Point and Unkar Group
Volcanic rock
Volcanic rocks (often shortened to volcanics in scientific contexts) are rocks formed from lava erupted from a volcano.
