Pūčkoriai outcrop, Geological monument in Pavilniai Regional Park, Lithuania
The Pūčkoriai outcrop stands at 65 meters high and 260 meters wide, revealing layers of glacial loam, gravel, sand, and clay along the Vilnia River.
Established as a protected natural monument in 1974, the site contains remnants of a 17th-century weapons manufacturing workshop that utilized the Vilnia River's power.
Scientists B. Rydzewski and L. Micas conducted extensive research at the outcrop, identifying significant Jurassic period fossils including belemnites and ammonites.
The geological formation features three distinct horizontal sections on its slope, making it an excellent location for studying erosion processes and glacial activities.
The continuous erosion of the upper section affects the surrounding pine forest, creating an ever-changing natural laboratory of geological processes.
