| Description | Origin of limonite concretions at the locality Zukalův kopec (cadastral area of the Mokrá-Horákov village) is connected with an intensive weathering of the specific calcareous Podolí Formation, probably in the warm climate of Tertiary. The concretions are formed by hadrated oxi-hydroxides of iron alternating with zones more or less rich in clastic components, i.e. especially in quartz and feldspars. The content of Fe2O3 is relatively high: about 50 - 60 weight %. |
