Outcrop of the Hatrurim Formation (qv), west of the north end of the Dead Sea. Located near the village of Nabi Musa.
Strongly altered by secondary carbonate and calcium hydrosilicate assemblages. Between the relics of pyrometamorphic rocks are mainly larnite-bearing pseudoconglomerates, a few outcrops of jasmundite–flamite rocks, and rare bodies of flamite–gehlenite hornfels.
