These rocks are the remains of beach sands and sediments of the Cretaceous Period, the interval of geologic time from about 144 to 66 million years ago.

Sandstone and sedimentary rock are held together by natural cement.

The concretions that make up mushroom rocks are cemented calcium carbonate.

The rock once served as a meeting place for pioneers and Native Americans.
