  • Area of ​​geological interest


Description
An outcrop of 50 to 60 meters, where a very massive rock is observed, which is broken into blocks. These are locomotives and locally passed gray micronglomerates, which, when altered, have ocher colors. These materials are characteristic of the Carboniferous (Culm species). The clasts have sizes of about 5 mm, and exceptionally they reach 5 cm. The composition of the clasts is whitish quartz and fragments of other rocks such as filites and lidites (black quartz).

The eye of the geologist
These materials as detrital rocks, which would have been deposited in unique marine environments through turbiditic flows. These materials of Carboniferous age the geologist associates them with the dismantling of the mountain range formed during the Hercinian orogeny (310 Ma).
