# 5157 A World Without End

Grand Canyon a kaleidoscope of color and texture.

The earths crust, torn apart by the forces of nature opens like a book, revealing all the layers from the Coconino to the bottom and the Colorado River. The canyon is estimated to be in the seventy seven million years old range at the basin and the top layer with the gold and amber coloring was formed by oceanic deposits from over two million years. The Coconino top layer supports life as ponderosa pine seeds mature into trees growing in-between the massive rock formation.

Life on earth is resilliant.
