Cover picture: The use of this stone type is documented only from the Czech area. It has been widely
used namely for sacral purposes (altars in baroque churches) during 18th century Its use was very scarce
due to the occurrence in very limited area. The main body of the rock is black due to the high content of
black organic matter between fine-grained calcite matter. The white parts are fossilized remnants of
organic bodies later filled with whitish calcite.
