The family went on a weekend trip to the hoodoos in Alberta. It is a famous place where coal layers exist along with fossilized trees, etc. Above the coal layers, there were these hoodoos made out of expansive soil (clays which are hygroscopic = take up water and expands easily) which is the nightmare of every road builder and civil engineers, etc. The multi-colored hoodoos were purple, grey and beige; each color being from a different set of chemicals or ash types coming out of the volcanoes to the west (upwind from the prairies).
In the areas where there was a vegetation-rich area, the coal layers formed in various thicknesses. This is how it formed in the days surrounding the Great Flood. Here is a fascinating explanation of this phenomenon:

The fly ash from the burning of the coal is the volcanic ash that catalyzed the plant matter. God is in all the details.
