English: This image shows badlands eroded out of the Zia Formation northwest of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, USA. The Zia Formation is a Miocene formation deposited as early rift fill sediments of the Rio Grande rift. The soft white sandstone beds of the formation are capped by more resistant calicified river gravels of the ancestral Jemez River. On the skyline behind the badlands is Mesa Chuchilla, underlain by Permian and Triassic red bed formations.
