Geology
The sedimentary layers of Mount Conner were deposited in a shallow sea during the Neoproterozoic Era (1Ga to 542Ma) in the then Centralian Superbasin, which was divided in several sub-basins at the end of the Neoproterozoic. The rock of Mount Conner is 200My to 300My older than Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/Olgas. The surrounding layers of sedimentary rock eroded preferentially to those of Mount Conner leaving the mesa/inselberg that is seen today.
