The Painted Hills 3D model captures one of Oregon’s most iconic geologic landscapes. Its vivid red, gold, and black bands represent ancient soil layers formed under shifting climate and vegetation patterns millions of years ago. This model highlights the smooth erosional contours and rhythmic banding that define the Painted Hills, offering a tangible way to explore sedimentary processes and time-recorded color changes in the rock record.
Detailed topography of surface based on Painted Hills stratigraphy.
Lightweight, durable construction for educational or display use
Designed by geologists to emphasize scientific and visual accuracy
