Geocache Description:


[ENG]

This cache takes you to the spinney near Otisaare limestone quarry. This is an active quarry, where in 2016 approximately 250 thousand cubic meters construction gravel was produced. The mined layer is Raikküla limestone, that is divided into three: marlstone, fine-grained dolomite limestone and porous limestone. The thickness of three layers is approximately 26m. The stones are from Silurian era (440 millions years ago).

The cache is hidden higher than the ground and can be found in any weather, shorter people may need a tool.

Aare viib sind Otisaare lubjakivikarjääri lähistele metsatukka. Tegemist on aktiivse karjääriga, kus 2016. aastal toodeti umbes 250 tuhat kuupmeetrit ehituskillustikku. Kaevandatavaks kihiks on Raikküla lademe lubjakivi, mis jaotatakse kolmeks: savikas lubjakivi, peeneteraline dolomiidistunud lubjakivi ja vähepoorne lubjakivi. Kolme kihi paksus kokku on umbes 26m. Geoloogiliselt jäävad kivimid Siluri ajastusse (440 miljonit aastat tagasi).

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