Valley of Fire State Park:
Geologic HistoryThe 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.
