Fossilized Sandstone
The soils of SKAHA Vineyard are made up of fossilized sandstone, shale, sand and clay.
Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks in the south Okanagan are all associated with the White Lake Formation. These are clastic sedimentary rocks with textures that range from silt and mud stones up through bouldery conglomerates. In some locations such as SKAHA Vineyard you can find coal layers and plant fossils.
The sediments making up the rocks were deposited by a large paleo-river system that was active approximately 55-34 million years ago the( Eocene Epoch period ).
