    Tips

    June 29, 2022

    The Rocks of the Sphinx are a sandstone formation of May, evoking (vaguely) the sphinx of Gizeh.

    The sandstones formed around 460 million years ago and were folded around 320 million years ago. They are harder than the surrounding shales, so these forms have been eroded away.
