description:
Wall Mountain Tuff explosion (36.7 million years ago). For more than 15 million years, the Rocky Mountain landscape leveled as the uplifted Rockies eroded sediment into the High Plains. By 36 million years ago, the landscape was a gentle east-dipping slope. A major volcanic eruption in the Collegiate Range catastrophically deposited a regionally extensive welded tuff across the Denver Basin. In this scene a herd of brontotheres are grazing near a pond in a forest and the skyline is overwhelmed by the approach of a collapsing incandescent cloud molten ash. description Wall Mountain Tuff explosion (36.7 million years ago).
