• Description: Artificial outcrops made in the area of the Brno golf course between Jinačovicemi and Kuřim allow us to study areally widespread sandy and gravelly deposits. Sedimentological and micropaleontological studies reveal their fluvial origin and Ottnangian age. Coarse grained river transported the material originated from N and NW geological units (Moravicum, Bohemian Cretaceous basin and Boskovice Furrow) generally towards the south. These deposits are unusually thick (more than 80 m) in the area of Jinačovice depression.
