The prominent band one "breaks through" is the Eureka Quartzite (really a well-indurated sandstone). The petroglyphs are on rhyolite outcrops.
Perhaps the most interesting geologic features of the area are the rocks resulting from a meteorite impact -- some visible near Hancock Summit. meteor impact near Irish

Re: rocksDo you have any pics of the petroglyphs that you could post? It'd make a nice addition to this page. : )
