Butte geology

It would be nice to have more info on the geology of the buttes, which easily the most distinctive aspects of the park. The article says they're sandstone, which is not really true--they're rather a conglomerate, and a rather odd one at that: chock full of un-eroded (sharp edged) rocks of various types, cemented together with a shale/sandstone matrix. A couple references elsewhere on the web imply the rock came from a landslide off of a mountain, but the location of the putative (and now eroded) mountain is unknown. I'm not enough of a geologist (read: I sometimes collect rocks) to evaluate that. And I found no indication of why, if these are the remnants of a landslide, they're standing up as buttes while everything around them has been eroded flatter than a pancake.

Anyway, I wish a geologist would add some enlightenment to this article. Mcswell (talk) 05:28, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Extinction

Let's not use the word extinct to describe the disappearance of tribe. Native Americans are still homo sapiens sapiens. Curoi (talk) 02:14, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
