An old rhyolite quarry + melaphyre.
Geology: Upper Carboniferous, Rusinowa-Grzmiąca maar belt, diatreme, pyroclastic flow deposits, trachyandesite cryptodome .
Awdankiewicz M.(2006):
A SSE-trending belt of rhyolitic tuffs, rhyolites and trachyandesites crops out along the eastern margin of the Wałbrzych Basin (the Eastern Wałbrzych Basin Volcanic Association). This belt represents remnants of 5 to 10, partly overlapping maar-type volcanoes that developed in late Carboniferous times (Nemec, 1979, 1981; Awdankiewicz 1999). The activity commenced with explosive, phreatomagmatic eruptions of rhyolitic magmas and formation of diatremes filled with various volcaniclastic deposits. Subsequently, rhyolitic and trachyandesitic magmas were emplaced both into the diatremes and their country rocks as dykes, sills, plugs, laccoliths and lava domes.
In the quarry, at the margin of a diatreme, ca. 250 m wide trachyandesite cryptodome is exposed. The trachyandesites were emplaced into a sequence of mudstones, sandstones and conglomerates overlain by rhyolitic tuffs (pyroclastic flow deposits). The andesite/sediment contacts are generally conformable, but the stratification of the sedimentary and pyroclastic rocks is partly disrupted, a pipe-like apophyse projects upwards from the dome for several tens of metres, and ca. 5 m thick clastic dyke penetrates the trachyandesites. These structures document fluidisation of wet sediments in the contact zone of the trachyandesitic cryptodome. A tentative correlation of the redcoloured sedimentary rocks above the trachyandesites with the Glinik Formation suggests that the deposits within the diatreme subsided for several hundred metres (Awdankiewicz 1999, 2004).
Note: this quarry most likely refers to a porphyry quarry "located 300 m E to a train station", listed under Kamieńsk (sub)locality in Lis & Sylwestrzak).
