Der Grand Canyon ist einer der best erforschten Aufschlüsse, dennoch sind die Entstehung und die dafür benötigten Zeiträume nicht vollends geklärt. In der Zweitspann von 65 bis 20 Millionen Jahren (Ma) wurde das Kaibab Plateau an dessem südwestlichem Rand der Grand Canyon liegt auf bis zu 3000m über den Meeresspeigel angehoben. Nach einer Phase der Erosion in der nahezu vollständig die im Mesozoikum abgelagerten Sedimente weg erodierten begann der Ur-Colorade sich durch die verbliebenen Schichten zu graben. Nach heutigem Stand benötigte der Colorado wenige Millionen Jahre um den heutigen Grand Canyon freizulegen. Die Erosion in die Tiefe erfolgte dabei in den letzten 2 Ma.
