Middle Eocene basaltic lava
The geological point is represented by the archeology of Okhera, the church of Okhera and a cliff built of basaltic pillow lavas.
Pillow lavas are lavas that contain characteristic pillow-shaped structures that are attributed to the extrusion of the lava underwater, or subaqueous extrusion. Pillow lavas in volcanic rock are characterized by thick sequences of discontinuous pillow-shaped masses, commonly up to one meter in diameter.
Okhera is located on a high hill near the confluence of the Uravli and Mtkvari rivers. In the surrounding area, in the cut of the highway, a strong cultural layer and the remnants of a large cobblestone wall can be seen. There, a large amount of ceramic material can be found in the collapsed soil following the trench.
In the territory of Okhera there is St. George’s temple, which is built of well-polished tuff stone and flat stone of the rock. Wine-colored stone tiles are used as the headstone of the church. covered with lorfin. The entrance door to the church is cut in the western wall. The interior of the church is lit by one window cut into each of the four walls. The floor is made of stone tiles.
