The seismic attributes of the basement in the Podvodnikov Basin (primarily its P-wave velocities (5.9-6.2 km/s), the VP /VS ratio (1.71), the characteristic diffraction features of reflections from the basement) indicate the continental origin of the basin and suggest that its tectonic evolution began at the pre-oceanic stage of geological history of the Arctic.

A characteristic feature of the plateau of Cambrian Limestone in the neighbourhood of Inchnadamff is the occurrence in it of swallow-holes, caves, and subterranean channels which are intimately associated with the geological history of the region. The valley of Allt nan Uamh (Burn of the Caves), locally known as the Coldstream Burn, furnishes striking examples of these phenomena. One of the caves in this valley yielded an interesting succession of deposits, from which were collected abundant remains of mammals and birds. The discovery of bones of the Northern Lynx, the Arctic Lemming, and the Northern Vole among these relics, and the collateral evidence of the materials forming some of these layers, seem to link the early history of this bone-cave with late glacial time, or at least with a period before the final disappearance of local glaciers in that region.
