Here the Jurassic-aged Morrison Formation has oxidized out to form colorful bentonite. Black lava rocks at the base of these hills are from volcanic activity that took place 20-25 million years. The black boulders were then carried into the valley floors by large debris flows.

Clay Mineral–Hydrophobic Organic Compound Interactions in Miniaturized Adsorption Experiments: Exemplary Studies With Bentonites and Hexachlorobenzene Clay mineral–hydrophobic organic compound interactions were studied with hexachlorobenzene and 21 bentonites. Adsorption strength varies depending on bentonite properties. For highly adsorptive bento...
