In the gorge there outcrop of sedimentary rocks deposited on the bottom of an ancient sea 140000000-30000000 years ago. Within the period of deposition of the sediments is the layer that marks the boundary between the Secondary and Tertiary eras. The analysis of this layer is inferred that about 65 million years ago, a catastrophe occurred on a global scale. In all likelihood, the planetary catastrophe caused the death of many animals, including the dinosaurs on Earth.
