The three main rock formations are the late-Precambrian Malmesbury group (sedimentary and metamorphic rock), the Cape Granite suit, comprising the huge Peninsula, Kuilsrivier-Helderberg, and Stellenbosch batholiths, that were intruded into the Malmesbury Group about 630 million years ago, and the Table Mountain group sandstones that were deposited on the eroded surface of the granite and Malmesbury series basement about 450 million years ago.

Who acts: three main rock formations, Malmesbury · What happens: be, comprise, stellenbosch, intrude, deposit, erode · To what, where: late Malmesbury group, huge Peninsula, batholiths, Malmesbury Group, Mountain group sandstones, eroded surface
