Grand Canyon Mystery, Geologists Fail to Explain
Grand Canyon Mystery, Geologists Fail to Explain This is a mystery which has existed for over a century and was first discovered by the famed geologist John Wesley Powell in 1869. Geologists believe that layers of rock are deposited one on top of the other, little by little over time. This means that when we examine the layers in exposed rock faces you should generally be able to see that each successive layer is older than the other with no gaps between them. The thing about the Great Unconformity is that about a billion years of rock appears to be missing between the 3 billion-year-old sediment and the relatively young, 550 million year layers sitting directly on top of this. To add to the mystery the 550 million year strata are just a few million years before the Cambrian Explosion which marked the widespread appearance of complex life on Earth.
