Geocache Description:


Lacul s-a format în calcare jurasice masive dispuse peste un fundament de roci eruptive bazice (diabaze şi diabaz-porfirite). La sud de lac se interpune la zi o fâşie de şisturi negre barremiene care au însă o extindere mult mai mare la est de lac. Tot la sud de lac apar insular şi lipite de fâşia de şisturi negre trei arcade mici de ofiolite care se îngustează sub forma unui pinten (500 m lăţime) între calcarele jurasice şi şisturile negre barremiene. La circa 2 km est de lac se extind depozitele flişului grezos în cadrul căruia apar o serie de intruziuni de andezite banatitice.

[EN]  The lake was formed in massive Jurassic limestones disposed over a base of eruptive basal rocks (diabases and diabase-porphyry). To the south of the lake, a barrage of black Barramian shale is upgraded, but a much larger east of the lake. Also to the south of the lake appear insular and glued to the black shale strip three small arches of decollars that narrow in the form of a spur (500 m wide) between the Jurassic limestones and barremian black shale. Approximately 2 km east of the lake, grease deposits are extended, with a series of banal andesite intrusions.
