About Zyklopensteine

De Zyklopensteine (Nederlands: cycloopstenen) vormen een geologisch natuurmonument dat bestaat uit ongeveer 50 grote steenblokken van zandsteen en kwartsiet in verschillende formaten ten zuiden van Aken in het Aachener Wald. De formatie ligt enkele meters ten zuiden van de grens tussen Duitsland en België grotendeels op Belgisch grondgebied (gemeente Raeren), maar er zijn ook fragmenten van op Duits grondgebied aangetroffen. Hoewel het uiterlijk van de steenblokken fundamenteel verschilt met de omliggende zandgronden, zijn er toch ook verbanden ermee. Door een gebrek aan fossielen is een precieze datering niet mogelijk, maar het wordt toegeschreven aan het Santonien. Geleidelijke erosie in het Tertiair zou ervoor gezorgd hebben dat de bank uiteen viel in verschillende blokken.
