Summary
| Description |
English: Shales & bentonites in the Cretaceous of Colorado, USA.
The Benton Shale is a widespread marine shale unit in the Cretaceous of western America. It was deposited in the ancient Western Interior Seaway at a time of globally-high sea level. The thin, lighter-colored horizons in this dark gray shale exposure are volcanic ash beds. Such horizons are called "bentonites", which are named after the Benton Shale itself. Stratigraphy: Benton Shale, Upper Cretaceous Locality: slope exposure along the Lower Hogback Trail, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, western side of the town of Colorado Springs, western El Paso County, central Colorado, USA (~vicinity of 38° 50’ 54.92” North latitude, 104° 52’ 30.71” West longitude) |
