Redwall Limestone

  The Redwall limestone, typically 600-700 feet thick, is one of the major cliff-forming layers in Grand Canyon, and it's often the barrier that prevents hiking access between the rim and the river.   It was deposited in a warm, shallow sea and is full of fossil corals and mollusks and extinct critters of all kinds.
