The caves themselves formed about 240 million years ago. There are a number of speleothem structures in the cave, known by names such as the Lowveld Rocket, Samson's Pillar, and the Screaming Monster; some have been dated to 200 million years old. There are also microbial fossils of a cyanobacterium known as collenia in the rock; these formed 2000 million years ago. The caves were used for shelter in prehistoric times, probably due in part to a constant supply of fresh air from an unknown source in the caves.
