Enchanted Rock is a fascinating exfoliation dome (with layers like an onion), rising 425 feet (130 m) above its
surroundings to elevation of 1825 feet (556 m) above sea level, in the Llano Uplift.
Geologically, the exposed rock (monadnock or inselberg, "island mountain") is part of a pluton (bubble of rock
slowly crystallized from magma) within the billion-year-old igneous batholith, Town Mountain Granite (covering
62 square miles mostly underground), which intruded from a deep pool of hot magma 7 miles upwards into the
older metamorphic Packsaddle Schist.
