Starkočský lom, Natural monument in Starkoč, Czech Republic.
The protected site spans 0.5 hectares of land, featuring exposed rock walls and geological formations at coordinates 49.9331°N and 15.4981°E.
The quarry, established for road construction materials, ceased operations in the 1930s and gradually filled with water, transforming its character.
The site contains numerous fossils, including the coral Isis miranda and the sponge Gribrospondia, which are not found elsewhere in the Czech Republic.
The Středočeský Region Office manages the conservation efforts of this location, which requires protection from excessive vegetation growth and mineral collection.
The quarry contains red almandine garnets with purple or brown tints, though most specimens show significant fractures unsuitable for jewelry making.
