Title: Layered
Description:
The Park has many outcrops of some of the oldest rock formations exposed on the Australian continent. The evolution of the Karijini landscapes that we see today started over 2500 million years ago, when fine, iron-rich sediments accumulated on an ancient seafloor. Over a period of millions of years, further sediments were overlaid, creating immense pressure on the sediment layers and transforming them into tough layers of rock. Horizontal compression caused the rock to buckle and crack before rising up out of the water to form dry land. A drop in sea level caused creeks and rivers to cut down through the rocks, creating the deep gorges that we see today. The types of rock that can be seen especially well in the gorges are the banded iron formations, dolomite (similar to limestone with a grey or pale brown colour) and Mount McRae shale (very soft purple or pink rock).
I saw these particular rock layers in the gorges of Hamersley. It is so fascinating how it has formed so many different coloured layers over thousands of years.
