Description

On the field, uphill of the Enkelenberg path, you will find small, rounded (or rolled) pebbles here and there. These pebbles are flints or silexes. These pebbles belong to what geologists call the basic gravel of the Tertiary. These pebbles were deposited on the erosion surface of the Tertiary before a layer of sandy loam was blown up in the Quaternary. Here on these slopes, the sandy loam layer has largely eroded and you get to see the Tertiary clay here and there with some remnants of that basic gravel on top. It is easy to recognize because the stones are round and because they are silexes. Beat the silexes together and you will smell a burnt smell of sulfur. And when it's dark, see sparks yourself.
