stantortuturma
Stantortuturma is a term that refers to a specific type of geological structure found in certain regions, particularly in the United States. It is characterized by a unique combination of features that include steep-sided valleys, narrow ridges, and a distinct pattern of erosion. The term is derived from the combination of "stanton," a reference to the Stanton Formation, a geological unit in which these structures are commonly found, and "tuturma," which is a Turkish word meaning "to twist" or "to turn," reflecting the twisted appearance of the valleys.
The formation of stantortuturma structures is believed to be the result of a combination of tectonic activity
Stantortuturma structures are found in several locations in the United States, including parts of Colorado, Utah,
