Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
Groups of rocky cliffs exposing arkoses with conglomerate interlayers. On the base there are common occurrences of allochtonous silicified araucarites. Stratigraphically these sediments belong to the lower parts of the Jívka Beds, Odolov Formation (Barruelian - Stephanian B). Sedimentologically and stratigraphically signficant locality.
