not a very helpful answer, TBH, I'm afraid.....
so, fxsculpt, you need to think about what the average size of your main rock feature is. For example if you have a 300m x 300m steep rock wall, *maybe* a feature size of 50 will look good for larger features (the feature scale). The smallest size will determine how much detail the power fractal will produce. Actually the octaves will determine the detail, but of you lower the smallest size, the octaves with increase automatically.
As a starter, in this example, you might want to choose a largest scale of 300, but you can play with increasing or decreasing this.
To get overhanging strata layers, you need to "twist and shear" your rock wall so that it overhangs, and afterwards apply a strata and outcrops shader, and a powerfractal with lateral displacment for additional bumps.
Hope this can get you started.
