Alfred Russel Wallace
Alfred Russel Wallace (8 January 1823 – 7 November 1913) was an English naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist and illustrator.

Arizona
Arizona (Hoozdo Hahoodzo; AlÄ á¹£onak) is a landlocked state in the Southwestern region of the United States.
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. Wallace Butte and Bright Angel Shale are Grand Canyon.

Cambrian
The Cambrian is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.
See Wallace Butte and Cambrian
Cliff-former
A cliff-former is a geological unit of bedrock that is more resistant to erosion than overlying or underlying strata and consequently produces outcrops with high slope angles.
See Wallace Butte and Cliff-former
Coconino County, Arizona
Coconino County is a county in the North-Central part of the U.S. state of Arizona.
See Wallace Butte 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 Wallace Butte 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 Wallace Butte and Colorado River
Geikie Peak
Geikie Peak is a -elevation summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, United States. Wallace Butte and Geikie Peak are Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park and north American 1000 m summits.

Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. Wallace Butte and Grand Canyon are Grand Canyon National Park.
See Wallace Butte 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. Wallace Butte and Grand Canyon National Park are Grand Canyon.
See Wallace Butte and Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Scenic Divide
Grand Scenic Divide is a ridge located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, Southwestern United States. Wallace Butte and Grand Scenic Divide are Grand Canyon and Grand Canyon National Park.

Harvey Butchart
John Harvey Butchart (May 10, 1907 – May 29, 2002) was a mathematics professor who was well known for his hiking exploits in and around the Grand Canyon in Arizona, United States.

Limestone
Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime.
See Wallace Butte and Limestone
Manakacha Formation
The (Upper) Late Pennsylvanian Manakacha Formation is a cliff-forming, sandstone, red-orange geologic unit, formed from an addition of eolian sand, added to marine transgression deposits, (siltstones, etc.), and found throughout sections of the Grand Canyon.
See Wallace Butte and Manakacha Formation
Mount Huethawali
Mount Huethawali is a summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, US. Wallace Butte and Mount Huethawali are Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park and north American 1000 m summits.
See Wallace Butte and Mount Huethawali
Muav Limestone
The Muav Limestone is a Cambrian geologic formation within the 5-member Tonto Group. Wallace Butte and Muav Limestone are Grand Canyon.
See Wallace Butte and Muav Limestone
Mudstone
Mudstone, a type of mudrock, is a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds.
See Wallace Butte and Mudstone
Pennsylvanian (geology)
The Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, on the ICS geologic timescale, the younger of two subperiods of the Carboniferous Period (or the upper of two subsystems of the Carboniferous System).
See Wallace Butte and Pennsylvanian (geology)
Redwall Limestone
The Redwall Limestone is an erosion-resistant, Mississippian age, cliff-forming geological formation that forms prominent, red-stained cliffs in the Grand Canyon.
See Wallace Butte and Redwall Limestone
Sandstone
Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.
See Wallace Butte and Sandstone
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 Wallace Butte 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.
See Wallace Butte and Siltstone
Slope-former
A slope-former is a unit of bedrock which is less resistant to erosion than overlying or underlying units and consequently results in outcrops with low relative slope angles.
See Wallace Butte and Slope-former
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 Wallace Butte and Southwestern United States
Supai Group
The Supai Group is a slope-forming section of red bed deposits found in the Colorado Plateau.

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.

Watahomigi Formation
The Watahomigi Formation is a geologic formation in the Grand Canyon region of Arizona.
See Wallace Butte and Watahomigi Formation
Whites Butte
Whites Butte is a prominence adjacent the course of the Colorado River near the beginning of the Western Grand Canyon, (west terminus of the South Rim). The butte lies at the terminus of Travertine Canyon, the adjacent canyon west of Hermit Canyon. The Boucher Trail which begins at Upper Hermit Canyon, courses the east base of Whites Butte to reach the Tonto Trail-(west), on the Tonto Platform, south side of the Colorado River. Wallace Butte and Whites Butte are Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park and north American 1000 m summits.
