Ilmen glint, Natural monument in Novgorod Oblast, Russia
The Ilmen glint features limestone cliffs with exposed rock formations extending along Lake Ilmen, displaying Middle Frasnian stratigraphic and paleontological elements.
The geological site gained protected status in 2001, following extensive research of its Upper Devonian carbonate rocks connected to ancient mining activities near Veliky Novgorod.
Researchers from Russia and international institutions study the site's stratotypic sections, which contain essential information about the Middle Frasnian period's geological development.
Access to the geological formations requires careful navigation due to natural weathering processes and ongoing erosion affecting the coastal cliff structures.
The glint contains multiple sub-regional geological subdivisions within the Main Devonian Field, revealing both regressive and transgressive stages of sea development.
