Kaibab rim

270 Myr limestone. Shouts leave here; first echo returns in 0.9 s off the far wall.

Coconino

Wind-laid sandstone that rings like a drum skin at high voice power.

Hermit shale

Soft red slope that swallows claps — switch to drum to punch through.

Supai

Banded ledges double each echo. Watch rings split as they cross the strata.

Vishnu floor

1.8 Byr granite riverbed. Song mode sustains — rings orbit instead of fading.

Strata appendix · I — read the walls

Every band is a climate.

Five layers, 1.8 billion years. Choose a stratum and the canyon reads its diary entry aloud in stone.

270 million years

Warm shallow sea. Trilobites commute; lime mud settles into the rim you shout from.

Echo character: bright slap, 0.9 s — limestone throws your voice straight back.
Unconformity

A billion missing years between Supai and Vishnu. The canyon forgot, then kept cutting.

Desert varnish

Dark streaks are bacterial sunscreen, centuries per millimetre. Do not touch the varnish.

River

The Colorado cuts 1 cm a decade. Your shout outlasts empires; the river outlasts shouts.
