    A. Red Bed Plains

    Explanation:

    The Red Bed Plains is a region in the southwestern part of the United States, more specifically, in the north-central part of Texas and south-central part of Oklahoma. The name comes from the surface rock strata that covers this regions, as it has reddish coloration. This is a region that is very rich in fossils, especially from the period of before the ''Great Dying''. As part of the Red Bed Plains are the Glass Mountains. The Glass Mountains are actually not mountains, being only several tens of meters above the surrounding surface, but because they are physical features that stick out, they have been given this name. They actually fall into the category of mesas and buttes. The reason for their formation is primarily the weathering and erosion in this area, as these processes managed to move away the surface layers over time, but the Glass Mountains had more resilient structure, so they have remained to stick out in the area.
