Excerpts:

Probably no place in the world of similar area has recorded a more complete or a more interesting resume of the earth’s history than has the high plateau country of northern Arizona and southern Utah. Although many great events and some long intervals of time are not represented by the formations of this region, yet of the five major chapters or eras into which all of time has been divided by geologists, at least some parts of each have left their traces in this area.
