Summary edit
| Description |
Čeština: Lom Kosov je opuštěný vytěžený vápencovo–břidlicový lom nacházející ve středočeském kraji (v CHKO Český Kras) asi 3,5 kilometrů od vlakového nádraží v Berouně nedaleko od osady Jarov. Lokalita je tvořena několika lomovými patry a silně elipticky protaženým (v severojižním směru) jezerem na dně. Ačkoliv zde byla těžba kamene ukončena (a postupně dochází k zavážení lomu), vstup do lokality není široké veřejnosti povolen a v jezírku platí zákaz koupání. Lom byl založen nedalekou cementárnou v Králově Dvoře v roce 1909 a její provoz dlouhou dobu zásoboval zde těženými silurskými vápenci a břidlicemi, které byly používány jako korekční surovina při výrobě cementu. Vápence se nacházely v horních etážích lomu, zatímco břidlice se vyskytovala převážně v okolí jezera. Lokalita je paleontologicky známá výskytem zkamenělin hlavonožců a pravěké mořské fauny.
English: The Kosov quarry is an abandoned limestone and slate quarry located in the Central Bohemian Region (in the Bohemian Karst Protected Landscape Area) about 3.5 kilometres from the train station in Beroun, not far from the settlement of Jarov. The site consists of several quarry levels and a strongly elliptical (in the north-south direction) lake at the bottom. Although the quarrying of stone has been stopped here (and the quarry is gradually being closed), the general public is not allowed to enter the site and swimming in the lake is prohibited. The quarry was established by the nearby cement factory in Kralova Dvůr in 1909 and its operations have long supplied the Silurian limestone and shale mined here, which was used as a corrective raw material in cement production. The limestone was found in the upper stages of the quarry, while the shale was mainly found around the lake. The site is palaeontologically known for its cephalopod fossils and prehistoric marine fauna. |
