Ryogami Chert 両神山のチャート

Ryogamisan is a mountain in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The rocks comprising the mountain include a lot of formations from old seabeds. Chert and limestone appear in stream beds and jutting out from outcroppings, alongside metamorphic rocks. On the hike up to the summit, about 50 minutes or so from the trailhead, red chert can be found in the streambed along the trail.
