The Geologic Oddity in New Mexico; The Bisti Wilderness

Within New Mexico is a spectacular alien like landscape that contains unusual rock pillars wider at their top than their base. Dinosaur fossils and petrified wood are practically everywhere, as the Bisti Wilderness contains the approximate boundary layer marking when the non avian dinosaurs went extinct. This video discusses the 4 primary rock units in this spectacular wilderness area, and mentions how the hoodoos formed.
