COCONINO SANDSTONE

Fig. 22

The Coconino Sandstone of the Early Permian is of eolian origin. Since body fossls have not been reported in the Cocnino Sandstone, invertebrate and vertebrate trace fossils remain the only evidence of the organisms that lived in the Cocnino desert. Trace fossils have been reported as scorpions, millipedes, and isopods. Tracks of tetrapod vertebrates have also been found.
