The lower 9 m probably formed from ice-rafted pebbles, cobbles, and boulders that were dropped into marine mud. The clasts were not locally derived, as they consist of rock types not present in the older Precambrian rocks of the Florida Mountains.The upper 3 m appears to be a conglomeratic arkose derived locally after faulting of the lower part of the diamictite.
