Geology
Early Cretaceous aged igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed in the Kabato Mountains and are referred to as the Kumaneshiri Group.[2] The Kumaneshiri Group specifically consists of mudstone, volcaniclastic sandstone and tuff, as well as reworked volcanic-sedimentary conglomerate, and tuff breccia. There are also pillow lava and dykes.
