Thank you. You confirmed my thoughts. I didn't consider the sand though.

So some other rocks take longer to erode due to their higher mineral content? Got it! Very informative.

Why are round Boulders on tops of Mesa mountains? Along with shells and fossils !
Yarnell Arizona there are 50 -60 ton bolder downward, driving down the road you pass through areas where the cut the road to pass through the Ridge . In these areas 150-200 layers of round rock each layer are approx size all being different sizes. But many layer ranges differ greatly up to maybe 25-30 lbs
This really shows the flood scouring

The entire North American Continent was a shollow sea a couple hundred million years ago, when Pangea (ancient mega continent) broke up it pushed up the sea floor to become what is now North America

[@asasial1977]

Then glaziers, weathering, erosion, for millions of years.
