Ejpovické útesy, Natural monument near Dýšina, Czech Republic

The Ejpovické útesy features steep quarry walls with exposed boulders, representing ancient reef formations from the Lower Ordovician period.

The site received official protection status on May 1, 1993, through declarations from both Plzeň-sever and Rokycany municipal offices.

Scientists study the preserved organisms, including Berenicea vetera specimens and stromatolites, to understand early Paleozoic marine environments.

The protected area spans 1.95 hectares at an elevation between 330 and 360 meters above sea level, with access through local roads.

This location contains the oldest known autochthonous occurrence of Lower Ordovician fauna within a flooded quarry.
