The layered rock in the thumbnail image on the far left is called Vernon wonderstone. It comes from a quarry in Utah and is technically a "weldedvitric tuff," a type of volcanic rock. The colorful banding is caused by groundwater with iron oxides that altered the tuff. It's one of my favorite rocks and I meant to show it during our lesson but didn't end up having time to talk about it in the video lesson.
