The lava flow poorly exposed in a large abandoned quarry, presently a shooting-sports center , with irregular curvilinear columns 0.5-1m in diameter in the northern part of the quarry close to the parking area. According to Berger (1932), the basaltic lava flow is underlain by fluvial gravel of the Biała Lądecka river terrace (Pliocene or even Pleistocene age have been considered). Unfortunately the contact of the lava with the gravel is not available for geological investigations any more.
The rock was originaly classified as plagioclase-nepheline basalt or nepheline basanite (Wojno et all 1950), later as ankaratrite or basanite (Białowolska 1980, Kozłowska-Koch 1976, 1987). It is similar to the rocks from both quarries in Lutynia with visible 'Sonnenbrand'. Birkenmajer et all (2002) classified the lava rocks as trachyandesite being very close to the basanite-alkali basalt-trachyandesite tripple point (classification by Winchester & Floyd 1977).
