Description: A few million years after a catastrophic volcanic eruption, palm trees and other plants have slowly recolonized the landscape. Rivers and streams have carved out new pathways in the concretelike volcanic rock. Intermittent heavy rains cause catastrophic floods to roar down the shallow canyons—sweeping up unfortunate rhinos, titanotheres, and anything else in their path!
Formation: Castle Rock Conglomerate
