Description
ERNST TINAJA by Charles Dobbs. Located in Big Bend National Park, Tinajas are hollows in bedrock along stream beds where water can collect. The Ernst Tinaja is a large tinaja along a dry creek bed that cuts through Cuesta Carlota. A cuesta is a ridge with a gentle slope on one side and a steep slope on the other. They are often formed where dipping sedimentary rocks are cut by normal faults. In the case of Cuesta Carlota, a normal fault runs along the eastern side of the north-south trending cuesta, making the eastern side steep, while the opposite side dips gently to the west.
