The stones here belong to the Brabant Massif or the Brabant Massif. These are a mass of rock layers that were deposited 500 million years ago in the Cambrian period. At that time, Flanders was still at the South Pole. Just before the Cambrian, the coast of Gondwana was flooded by a sea that rose because an ice age had come to an end. In that sea, layers of sand and clay, an impressive 9 km thick, were deposited, which are breakdown products of the Gondwana supercontinent where we were located at the edge. AND those rocks can still be found here.
It has even been discovered that there were nearby volcanoes that had eroded, as remnants in the form of small grains have been found in the rocks.
