Geology

Short characteristics of the site: Moldanubian Central Massif, Melechov Massif. System of outcrops exposing medium grained, banded muscovite-biotite orthogneiss. Main rock forming minerals: plagioclase, potassium feldspar, muscovite, biotite. Quartz is intensively recrystallized into flat elongated bands. Feldspars are sericitized, biotite chloritized and showing deformation into kink bands. Muscovite is mostly of secondary origin.
