I have been calling many of the rock abstracts that I have made  whilst walking along the coast between Petrel Cove and Kings Head  granite,  when they should be termed Kanmantoo.  These Kanmantoo group rocks are typically derived from  the Cambrian Period sedimentation in shallow ocean. 

According to the  Coastal Landscape of South Australian text these  Cambrian metasedimentary rocks are aligned with the Encounter Fault, occur northeast of Newland Head, diminishing  in height towards King's Head  and the Bluff (Rosetta Head). The small pocket beaches, largely derived from erosion of Permian glacial deposits, occupy bays eroded into  less resistant Cambrian rocks.
