Awdankiewicz and Breitkreuz (2006) write:
The Kamienna Góra Basaltic Trachyandesites, in the western part of the Intra-Sudetic Basin, represent a small shield volcano (10-12 km in diameter, 0.1 km high, 1-4 km3 in volume) formed due to effusive eruptions of relatively basic lavas with SiO2 contents of ca. 52% (Awdankiewicz, 1997, 1999; Awdankiewicz et al., 2003). This activity represented the earliest stag of the Permian climax of volcanisms in the Intra-Sudetic Basin. The shield volcano possibly erupted over an easterly inclined palaeoslope, the oldest lavas flowed to the east, and the younger flows were successively shifted north - and westwards. Various lava types (aa, pahoehoe and block lavas) and thin tuff intercalations form the eruptive sequence. Abundant sedimentary xenoliths, volcano-sedimentary breccias and clastic dykes reflect lava-wet sediment interactions during the emplacement of the lavas.
