A geologic anamoly which has yet to be explained. Here we see river sandstone deposits (with crossbeds) overlying what Bob calls a "Mystery Slurry" material from a significant landslide or mudslide. It's clear that an unconformity exists here, probably due to the ancient river digging down into the bedrock below it.
