The Sibumasu block consists of high-grade metamorphic rocks (gneiss, schist, calcsilicate and marble) and sedimentary rocks which are inferred to be of Pre-Cambrian age, overlain by folded units from the Paleozoic and Mesozoic. There are abundant outcrops of Late Carboniferous to Early Permian glacial-marine diamictites and cool water fauna fossil bearing limestones, also from Early Permian.
