Located at 8 Km SW of Dognecea.
Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous synclines formations lies discordantly over the metapelites.
Igneous rocks associated with the skarns. Contact between limestone and banded skarn. Bulk of these is of infiltration type. Also present Zn-Pb (Cu) sulphides +/- hematite originate in a later hydrothermal process. Interesting to note the presence of minor skarnified fossils, especially corals.
