Description

The rocky escarpment of Mimosa Rocks is varied and includes a mixture of rock types including rhyolite, gabbro, sandstone, siltstone, conglomerate and metasediments. The rocks here are the result of volcanic eruptions underneath a deep lake, the lake water boiled and fumed, shattering bedrock into a mosaic of interlocking pieces. The erupting lava also broke up, forming a mass of rock pieces. As the lava dome grew, large chunks of lava were shed down its sides.
