Nevada - Valley of Fire State Park:

Geologic History



The Valley of Fire gets its name from its red sandstone formations. These rocks also contain conglomerates along with limestone and shale. Also found are remnants of permineralized vegetation - petrified wood and other fossilized plants. From 192 to 178 million years ago, a vast 150,000 square-mile desert covered this region. (w)
