Geocache Description:


[ENG]

Cache takes you to one of the biggest bedrock outcrops in Hiiumaa. There you can see 440 million years old coral reef. Outcrop is formed of Lower-Silurian limestones that are formed when Estonia was located at ecuator.

NB! Kallaste bank is under nature conservation!

The treasure is hidden higher than the earth and can be found in every weather, shorter people may need a tool.

[EST]

Aare viib sind Hiiumaa ühe suurema aluspõhja paljandi juurde, kus paljandub 440 miljoni aasta vanune korallriff, milles on näha korallide, sammalloomade ja stromatopooride kivistisi. Paljandit moodustavad alam-Siluri Juuru lademe lubjakivid ja savikad lubjakivid tekkisid siis kui Eesti ala asus ekvaatoril. Panga lõunapoolses osas paljandub Eestis ainulaadse ulatusega bioherm, mis oma olemuselt on setete alla mattunud kunagine korallriff.

NB: Kallaste pank on looduskaitse all!

Aare on peidetud maast kõrgemale ja leitav iga ilmaga, lühemad inimesed võivad vajada abivahendit.
