This 80m long creek bank in Parachilna Gorge exposes colourful sedimentary laminae (1-25mm wide) of the Bunyeroo Formation.
As outlined in The Legacy of Time: The Story of the Flinders Ranges by the Royal Geographical Society of South Australia, the layers are likely to have been formed by marine deposition of fine-grained silts following the end of an ice age (650ma). The vertical bedding exposes micro-faults and folding that occurred during the formation of the Blinman dome.
The site is easily accessed on the northern bank of the creek at the turn-off to Glass Gorge Rd from Parachilna Gorge Rd.
