The area is characterised by the presence of Jurassic and Cretaceous limestones and marls.
Calcite, in the form of speleothems and scalenohedral crystals, occurs in small natural cavities and pockets in massive limestones.
Pyrite crystals and fossils (ammonites, belemnites, terebratula) are typically found in whitish-cinereous limestone (Lower Lias).
Iron ores (limonite) occurring in limestone layers at some places were exploited from time to time in the period between the 15th century and the 1950s.
Fossil fishes have been found in the outcrops of the Bonarelli Level (a radiolarian-ichthyolithic, organic-rich marker bed that was deposited close to the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary) and Selli Level (an organic-rich marker bed representing the Lower Aptain Oceanic Anoxic Event).
