The Page Sandstone is a geologic formation in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Jurassic period.
Source Wikipedia

The Page Formation was a large dune field (erg/eolian system) ranging from northern Arizona, in the Middle Jurassic, that extended northward across a band within Utah to Wyoming (Fillmore 2000). It was separated to the west by a tidal-flat/sabkha complex and then the Sundance seaway. The Sundance seaway expanded and extended southward and eastward and as it retreated, the Page erg followed and expanded over the sabkha sediments. Page Sandstone and the Carmel Formation comprise a mix of marine, sabkha, fluvial systems of the Carmel (marinal marine and marine) and eolian deposits of the Page Sandstone.
