Geology

The Shefford mount was formed approximately 125 million years ago during an intrusion under-terraine magma. This magma did not reach terrestrial surface and solidified in-depth. The hill appeared during erosion by the Glacier S of the sedimentary rocks neighbouring, more fragile than the metamorphic Roche formed by the contact of the magma and the sedimentary rock.
