Geology

Jupiter Temple strata

The summit of Jupiter Temple is a cupola of remnant Permian Coconino Sandstone overlaying strata of the Pennsylvanian-Permian Supai Group. This in turn overlays the cliff-forming layer of Mississippian Redwall Limestone, which in turn overlays Cambrian Tonto Group, and finally Neoproterozoic Chuar Group at river level.[7] Precipitation runoff from Jupiter Temple drains south to the Colorado River via Basalt and Unkar Creeks.
