Dolomite, probably Precambrian, occurs throughout the Algonkian and Maxwell valleys.It has been silicified in several areas.
The dolomite displays only moderate dips and overlies phyllite and schist, which comprise much of the more elevated parts of the region.
The phyllite and schist were deformed at least once prior to deposition of the dolomite. Karst features occur extensively in the area, but most
are no longer active. There is considerable variation in soils, from acidic peats to those associated with alkaline pans. Alkaline pans are common
in the area and observations suggest that, whilst a short-term phenomenon, they may be recurring features of the landscape.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
