The geology of Sint Eustatius represents a young Pleistocene volcanic island. The oldest rocks are overlain by the Sugar Loaf-White Wall Formation shallow marine limestone. The Quill is the island's highest point and although partially eroded records a pyroclastic volcano with a two kilometer wide crater.^[1]
