Answer:

A little island of remnant sandstone sits on Mount Moran's summit. Sediments were deposited as sea levels rose throughout the planet, beginning with beach sands (the Flathead Sandstone that sits atop Mount Moran), followed by limestones deposited in shallow waters, and finally mudstones that made up the deeper ocean bottom.

The peak of Mount Moran is topped by a tiny island of remaining sandstone! When sea levels rose worldwide, sediments were deposited, starting with beach sands (the Flathead Sandstone that tops Mount Moran), then limestones deposited in shallow waters, and mudstones that were a deeper ocean floor.
