Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Capitol Peak with pillar-like erosional remnant (“hoodoo”) at the tip of its southern promontory, seen from a hiking trail at the southern foot of the mountain, northern part of Palo Duro Canyon, about 20 km SE of Amarillo, NW-Texas, USA. The terrestrial red beds exposed at Capitol Peak belong to the Quartermaster Formation of the Upper Permian, overlain by the Tecovas Formation of the Dockum Group of the Upper Triassic.[1] Both formations are easily distiguished from each other by their colouration: The beds of the Quartermaster Formation are more yellowish, whereas those of the Tecovas Formation are more bluish.
Deutsch: Capitol Peak mit Erosionspfeiler („Hoodoo“) an der Spitze seines Südausläufers, von einem Wanderweg am südlichen Fuß des Berges aus gesehen, Nordteil des Palo Duro Canyon, etwa 20 km südöstlich von Amarillo, NW-Texas, USA. Die roten terrestrischen Sedimentgesteine, die am Capitol Peak aufgeschlossen sind, gehören zur Quartermaster-Formation des oberen Perms, überlagert von der Tecovas-Formation der Dockum-Gruppe der oberen Trias.[1] Die beiden Formationen lassen sich anhand ihrer Farbtönung gut voneinander unterscheiden. Die Schichten der Quartermaster-Formation sind eher gelblich, die der Tecovas-Formation eher bläulich.
