Abstract
This paper describes the types of breccia of the eastern part of Cape Fiolent, including verd antique (ophicalcite) for the first time, whose formation is associated with ophiolite. It has been shown that the formation of the ophiolite assemblage of the area occurred in the intersection zone of the rift valley and transform fault.
