Sažetak
The Papuk Mountain is made mostly of metamorphic and igneous pre-Alpine rocks. One of three igneous - metamorphic complexes which can be found on Papuk Mt. is "Papuk complex" composed of migmatites, paragneisses and granitoids where Trešnjevica geosites is situated. At the Trešnjevica geosite the volcanic rock dike swarms cut the older igneous complex and geological peculiarity of this geosite can be found in the surprisingly numerous varieties of rocks - rhyolite, andesite, basalt, tuff, granite, pegmatite, gneiss, migmatite. Trešnjevica geosite, which is abandoned quarry, represent outstanding geological site very suitable for education purposes considering igneous and metamorphic rocks. Geological exposure is well visible and site provides useful information about different types of rocks, their mineralogic contents, textures, forms of occurrence as well as geological settings between them. Due to all that Trešnjevica geosite is a valuable resource for introducing geology to the general public which illustrate a varied and interesting Papuk geology.
