  • Paramoudras

    Spheric Boulder, about 80cm in diameter, placed on a rocky surface leaning into the ocean in the background.

    Paramoudras are unusual geological features in the form of balls of sedimentary rock, usually pierced by a gallery. Consisting of rocks harder than the surrounding stratum, erosion makes them appear in some sites, such as Jaizkibel in the Spanish Basque Country.
