| Norian - Carnian 208.5 - 237 Ma ID: 3010941 | Chinle Formation Age: Late Triassic (208.5 - 237 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Chinle Formation Description: Colorful mudstone, such as in the Painted Desert, and less abundant lenses of sandstone and conglomerate, deposited by a large river system. This unit typically is eroded into badlands topography and contains clays that are prone to shrinking and swelling.
