The Grand Canyon Embayment is the term used here for a foreland basin in northwestern Arizona containing Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. Its borders are poorly defined, because most of the Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks are buried beneath a thick Paleozoic cover. It is bordered on the east by the Kaibab Uplift and on the west by the Sand Wash Fault and the Basin and Range Province
