At Mill creek" target="_blank">Creek's headwaters, at the confluence of Lahaska creek" target="_blank">Creek and Watson creek" target="_blank">Creek, is the Allentown Formation, a sedimentary layer of rock deposited during the Cambrian. Mineralogy includes dolomite, limestone, chert, siltstone, oolite, stromatolites, and sharpstone conglomerate.
After a very short distance, it flows into the Leithsville Formation, a sedimentary layer also deposited during the Cambrian. Mineralogy includes dolomite, some containing sand or shale, calcareous shale, and chert.
It then flows into the Brunswick Formation, a sedimentary layer laid down during the Jurassic and Triassic. Mineralogy includes shale, mudstone, siltstone, green and brown shale.
Shortly before it reaches the Neshaminy, it flows into the Lockatong Formation, another formation of sedimentary rock. Mineralogy includes a dark-gray to black argillite, some zones of black shale, and some limestone and calcareous shale.
