The disturbed strata exposed in the road cut belong to the Gordo Formation of the Tuscaloosa Group and consist of sands interbedded with clays. By tracing individual units, one can visualize the complex relationship that must exist throughout the crater area. Rock strata strike N 30 W and dip 47 SW. Further up the road, 462 m to the east, another poorly preserved road cut exposure contains sediments that may indicate plastic flow.
