Shattered rocks near Pueblo Bonita, Chaco Culture National Historic Park, NM

This photo shows how sandstone breaks along specific lines when subjected to stress. This was good and bad. It simplified creating the flagstones used to build the walls and other structures of Pueblo Bonita. It also made the cliffs behind Pueblo Bonita fragment and crush portions of the pueblo when they broke off. Chaco Culture National Park, NM
