Name: Sandstone Great Plains Xeric Butte - Bluff Sparse Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This sandstone butte type occurs in the United States in northwestern South Dakota, and possibly elsewhere in the Great Plains. The Fox Hills sandstone is a fairly widespread exposure in northwestern South Dakota. Exposures at the Slim Buttes include a lot of volcanic ash that texturally may be more like siltstones, but there are also exposures of rather coarse sand/gravel stones. The North and South Cave Hills are clearly sandstone outcrops and are quite famous for their pictographs, some of which date to the ice age. Further characterization of this type is needed.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24080.SANDSTONEGREATP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
