    The north wall of the Grand Canyon exposes Pre-Cambrian rocks that are older than overlying Paleozoic rocks, as shown by an angular unconformity between the two rock layers. This unconformity represents a break in the geologic record where younger Paleozoic rocks were deposited on top of eroded Pre-Cambrian rocks.
