Monument valley- Kayenta area AZ , Navajo keet seel. 0ne of the large alcoves form near the base of the Navajo sandstone cave - The Navajo is predominantly a quartz sandstone with small amounts of microcline, plagioclase feldspar, chalcedony, magnetite, zircon, tourmaline, and garnet. The Navajo is weakly to firmly cemented by calcite, silica, and iron oxide. The cementation, however, is poor in most places and the Navajo is, in general, an extremely friable rock. A thin film of brown iron oxide coats each grain.

Evidence of right-lateral slip along Set I fractures in the Unnamed limestone. a) Offset of Set II fractures caused by slip along Set I. Bleaching highlights fracture. View of pavement surface. b) Calcite slickenfibers on a Set I fracture surface. Cross sectional view. c) View of pavement surface with echelon veins. We infer that a Set I fracture is just beneath and perpendicular to this surface with a strike that follows the midpoints of the echelon veins - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191814109001333
