The layered grey-green colored rock formation on the left of the canyon, the upper part of the cliffs at Lost Creek State Park, are part of the Precambrian Newland Formation. Formed from the compaction and hardening of lime-rich mud deposits in a shallow sea about 1.3 billion years ago. The tan-colored rocks on the right side of the cliff were part of molten rock to magma that melted into the Newland Formation, the begun to cool around 75 million years ago, At that time both types of rock were as much as 8 miles below the surface.
