This locality is part of the central uplift of a 6 km. wide impact structure formed during the mid-Ordovician. In this particular part of the feature are exposures of Cambrian Mt. Simon sandstone and conglomerate that show microscopic effects of shock (or impact) metamorphism. The outcrops are scattered, hard to find and on posted private property of owners who enjoy hunting and have diverse weapons.
