Letenský profil, Natural monument at Letná, Czech Republic.
The Letenský profil features geological formations with alternating layers of quartzites and greywackes along the Vltava River bank in central Prague.
The site received official natural monument status in July 1988, marking recognition of its geological importance for studying Ordovician period formations.
The geological formations contain numerous fossils, including trilobite specimens that provide scientific knowledge about ancient marine life in this region.
Located near tram stops and walking paths, the geological site extends along Chotkovy street and into an alley leading from Bruskou street.
The rock layers reach 700 meters in thickness, displaying distinct patterns of light quartzite alternating with darker greywacke at centimeter intervals.
