Nugget Sandstone near Red Fleet Reservoir, Uintah County, Utah. Uniform grain size and these large cross-stratification are indicative of an ancient sand dune.Nugget Sandstone showing a bounding surface between two sets of ancient sand dunes, where wind scour eroded the top of the lower dune before the second dune advanced over it.

The Nugget Sandstone is a Late Triassic to Early Jurassic geologic formation that outcrops in Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah, western United States.
In Wyoming, it is composed of a lower hematite-stained siltstone and thin-bedded sandstone. The upper part is a salmon-pink and light-gray, fine- to medium-grained cliff-forming sandstone that exhibits massive bedding to large scale cross-beds of dunes. Thickness ranges up to 86.9 m (285 feet).[1]
Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation.[2]
