B.A.M.F. Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 A couple of weeks ago I went down to Goblin Valley for a couple of days to try out my new camera. Thought some of you might like to see some of Utah's not-as-well known areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChocolateCitySkin Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Any geologist out there that can explain to me how those rocks formed those patterns? I've never seen anything like that. They are ferrous and sedentary correct? I'm just guessing but flash flooding in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they start running around, I'm looking for another galaxy to live in. Oh, you mean sedimentary? OK, never mind.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the rounded rock formations on screen as the hostile planet Thermia in Galaxy Quest as Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver star as actors in a popular space travel television series who are kidnapped by aliens to fight a real war."

Barney B Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 How the rocks were formed: http://www.hikewithyourdog.com/ParksoftheMonth/Dec2003.html "The goblins form by uneven weathering of sandstone rocks of varying hardness. Water erosion and the smoothing action of windblown desert dust conspire to shape the hoodoos and spires in the valley. The state of Utah acquired 3,000 acres to create the park in 1964."
