Follow-up to my previous comment: possibly an "average" number of layers.

Dan, how many layers of meaning are in their songs?

I have several cd's by the "Thick White Band"

John, the thick white band is probably White Rim sandstone, one of four strata that make up the Cutler group of sandstones. A geology book of the area lists the names of all the the rock strata found in the Moab area (more than are shown in this photo). They are, from top to bottom: GreenRiver, Wasatch, Mesa Verde, Mancos, Ferron, Mancos (another one), Dakota, Cedar Mountain, Morrison, Entrada, Navajo, Kayenta, Wingate, Chinle, Moenkopi, Cutler (composed of White Rim, Organ Rock, Cedar Mesa, and Lower Cutler), Upper Hermosa, and Paradox Salt (an intrusion of salt far below the surface).

Dave, Do you have any information regarding the strata in the rocks.
Especially the thick white band.
