Atigun River flows over north-verging, thrust-fault contact between Lower Cretaceous (Neocomian) Okpikruak Formation on left side of river and Lower Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) Fortress Mountain Formation on right side of river. Okpikruak Formation comprises a mélange of turbidites and exotic blocks of chert in a silty mudstone matrix.
