The gravel is chiefly sub-angular schist, with some quartzite and minor quartz. The bedrock was cut by another channel 15 feet deep and 200 feet wide, containing 5 feet of sub-angular quartzite gravel, as visible in the SW pit (now flooded). Local rocks include Paleozoic marine rocks, undivided, unit 4 (Western Sierra Nevada).
