The Grand Canyon.

Here is an image from the Grand Canyon. Remember, we are east of the hinge line. In the image we see 1.6 – 1.8 by basement rocks overlain by non-marine and marine rocks that span the early Cambrian to the Devonian…but here the section is only several hundred meters thick. Younger Mississippian rocks make up the upper cliffs.
