Kamenné gule v Megoňkách

Nature Interest

Kamenné gule sa nachádzajú v mestskej časti Milošová, v blízkosti hranice s obcou Mosty u Jablukova.

V 80. rokoch 20. storočia sa po odstrele horniny v kameňolome, v ktorom sa ťažil kameň na úpravu horských bystrín, vykotúľali pravidelné okrúhle gule s priemerom od 10 až po 260 cm.

Tak sa objavil prírodný úkaz, ktorý je svetovým unikátom.V roku 2003 bol nálezisko vyhlásené za prírodnú pamiatku. Doteraz nikto nepodal jednoznačné vysvetlenie vzniku týchto kamenných gúľ. Geológovia sa zhodujú iba v názore, že vznikli v rovnakej dobe ako okolité pieskovcové horniny. Pravdepodobne vznikli v pravekom mori postupným nabaľovaním na jadro pohybmi vody na morskom dne.
