Rimrock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rimrock in Colorado National Monument.

Rimrock is the sheer rock wall at the upper edge of a plateau, canyon, or top stratum of a geological uplift.[1] It may refer to either the rock formation or to the rock itself. Rimrock may be composed of almost any stonebasalt, gneiss, granite, sandstone, etc.and is frequently layered. Many times it overlays a softer stone which erodes away underneath. American Indians in the West often used cavities found below rimrock to construct dwellings and granaries.
