many morphological and petrographic varieties compatible with
rocks of Alhesen castle region. Chemical analyses of studied rocks
proved to be alkaline rocks with sodic-potassic na
ture. Rotten parts

installations, paving roads, and as materials for manufacture of
cement, in addition to their academic importance in Petrological,
paleogeographic, and tectonic studies.
