Short, irregular, and lenticular veins of radioactive carbonate-hematite crop out along the coast for about 13 km (8 mi). Some veins can be traced for more than 91 m (300 ft) between the low-tide line and forest cover. The veins cut the Salmon Bay greywacke, a thick formation of Silurian age. On average, the veins are 5β8 cm (2β3 inches) wide, though they normal range from less than 2 cm (1 in.) to as much as 0.76 meters (2.5 feet). A few veins reach 1.5β3 meters (5 to 10 feet) in width.
