Motolský ordovik, Natural monument near Motol Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic.
The geological profile contains layers of shale from the Ordovician period within a railway cut between Stodůlky and Zličín stations.
The protected area gained official status in September 1988, preserving a geological cross-section spanning 485 to 443 million years of Earth's history.
The geological formations contain numerous fossils of trilobites, brachiopods, and graptolites, contributing to scientific research of ancient marine ecosystems.
The northern boundary meets the Kalvárie natural monument, creating a joint protection zone measuring 5.6 hectares in total area.
The railway construction exposed upper layers of Dobrotiv Formation and lower layers of Libeň Formation, revealing rich paleontological findings.
