Except where underlain by the Sixtymile Formation, Cambrian Tapeats Sandstone is typically the lowest geologic unit, about 230 feet (70 m) thick, at its maximum, of the 5-member Tonto Group. It is famous for being the highly-resistant mostly-horizontal unit above the Great Unconformity expressed areally in the Grand Canyon of Arizona; also in other areas of Arizona and adjacent Nevada.

  • Der Tapeats Sandstone ist nach der basalen Sixtymile-Formation die zweite Formation der kambrischen Tonto Group im Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten. Die dunkelbraune und dünnlagige Sandstein-Formation wird ins frühe Mittelkambrium datiert. Sie zeichnet sich durch eine große Bandbreite von Ablagerungsbereichen des Küstenmilieus und auch kontinentaler Fazies aus. (de)
