Geocache Description:


ÜÜGU PANK

ENG

First of all: You enter this area at your own risk! A smiley on the map is not worth risking your life!

Welcome to Üügu pank: The largest and grandest cliff in Muhumaa!

This cliff is a good example of the sequence of the lowest beds of the Jaagarahu stage, the shape and bioherms and the effects that the coastal erosion of the Limnea Sea had on the cliff. The upper part of the cliff's is composed of the dolomitized bioherms with the thickness of 1-3 m that formed in the warm and shallow sea of the Silurian era. Bioherms are sedimentary formations from the remnants of various organisms and lime mud and they have no internal bedding. The bioherms are situated side-by-side on the precipice, which later, by joining, have formed the current large tough limestone underlying soft domerites crust. Hard platy irregular bedded dolostones surround and underlay and together form a hard shield protecting the underlying soft domerites (carbonate rock with large clay content) of the Jaani stage from erosion. The deeper Jaani stage, which by now has been buried under the talus, can still be sensed in the form of small springs that flow out on the border between the Jaagarahu and Jaani stages. These create unique sloping bog on the cliff precipice.

Stage 1: 

N58°40.270 E023°14.245

1.) How was soft domerites formed? 

2.) What color has the Silurian klint? (bottom left)

 

Stage 2: 

N 58° 40.312 E 023° 14.286

3.) What can you see here?

a) one of the caves made by the locals for the cattle?

b) a small spring that flows out on the border between Jaagarahu and Jaani stages?

c) another information-board about alvars?

 

Stage 3: (be careful)

N 58° 40.290 E 023° 14.358

4.) Which sequence of the lowest beds of the Jaagarahu stage can you see here?

5.) How thick is/are the sequence/s (approximately)?

6.) is OPTIONAL: Take as many as pictures as you like and add them to your log!

We hope you enjoyed the walk!

Esiteks:sisenete alale omal vastutusel. Naerunägu kaardil pole väärt eluga riskimist!

Tere tulemast Üügu pangale – Muhumaa kõige suurejoonelisemale kaljule.

Üügu pank on hea näide jaagarahu lademe alumiste lasundite, biohermide ning Limneamere erosiooni tagajärgedega tutvumiseks. Panga ülemised kihid paksusega 1-3 meetrit moodustavad dolomiidistunud biohermid, mis moodustusid Siluri ajastul madalas ja soojas meres. Biohermid on settelise tekkega, nad on moodustunud organismide jäänustest ja lubjarikkast mudast ning neil puudub sisemine kihistatus. Järsakul paljandub kõrvuti mitu biohermi, mis hiljem liitudes on moodustanud nüüdse suure rahkja pae kõviku. Selle all asub pehmem domeriidikiht. Pealmine dolokivist kiht kaitseb allpool asuvat pehmeid jaani lademe domeriite (karbonaatne suure savisisaldusega kivim) erosiooni eest. Sügavamal asuv jaani lade on praeguseks enamast mattunud rusukalde alla, kuid on siiski äratuntav allikate juures, mis voolavad välja jaagararhu ja jaani lademete puutepinnalt. Need allikad tekitavad pngajärsakule unikaalse kallaksoo.

1. punkt:

N58 ° 40,270 E023 ° 14,245

1.) Kuidas tekkisid pehmed domeriidid?

2.) Mis värvi on siluri klint? (all vasakul)

2. punkt:

N 58 ° 40,312 E 023 ° 14,286

3.) Mida sa siin näed?

a) kohalike poolt uuristatud kulbas karja jaoks?

b) väike allikas, mis voolab Jaagarahu ja Jaani lademete vahelisel piiril?

c) infotahvel alvari kohta?

3. punkt: (olge ettevaatlik)

N58 ° 40,290 E 023 ° 14,358

4.) Milliseid Jaagarahu lademe alumisi kihte võib siin näha?

5.) Kui paks(ud) on kiht (kihid) (umbes)?

6.) on VALIKULINE: lisa oma logile nii palju pilte, kui tahad!

Loodame, et teile meeldis jalutuskäik!
