The emerging substrate consists of fine sandstones and mudstones marl with big quartz-sandstone and other sandstone banks that are indicated as Numidian Flysch deposits (Member of Geraci). An evident tectonic contact goes through it.
The Age is probably upper Oligocene – Early Miocene and moving eastward, in outcrop, you can see silty-clay, clay – arenaceous layers with maxi-breccia and Meso-Cainozoic carbonate elements (Clays of Portella Mandarini).
It is easily accessible through the forest path that starts from the provincial road to Piano Battaglia, it is still a very impressive place to visit that tells about the union rock-man that was very developed in the Madonie.
