Mount Conner is a mesa in the Northern Territory of Australia, within the Curtin Springs cattle station in Pitjantjatjara country about 75 kilometers southeast of Lake Amadeus, reaching an elevation of about 859 meters with roughly 300 meters of prominence above the surrounding plain. Geologically it is an erosional remnant of a Cretaceous-age surface, cited as a classic example of an inselberg, its slopes covered in scree and talus with colluvium at its summit and alluvium at its base. Visitors often mistake it for the more famous Uluru, which has earned it the local nickname Fooluru; it lies near the Kungkarangkalpa, or Seven Sisters, Dreaming site. This entity documents Mount Conner specifically as a geological formation, a classic Cretaceous-surface erosional-remnant inselberg.
