Cenozoic European Volcanic Province.
Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka is an extinct and eroded volcano that is now a forested conical shaped hill. The volcano was active in the Neogene period.
Geologically is has a volcanic neck made of basanite, surrounded by sandstone and conglomerate of Permian age.
Protected as a nature reserve since 1926 until 1945 and again since 1962. Slopes covered by a basaltic stone run.
Lipa D., Puziewicz J. et all(2013) state: Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka Hill contains a few centimetre (typically 1.5 – 3 cm) clinopyroxene megacrysts occur sparsely in the basanite. The megacrysts are black in hand specimen and emerald-green or rarely yellow in thick (100 μm) section. They appear to be the anhedral fragments of broken crystals of larger size. Some have singular euhedral faces preserved. The sector-zoning is common; locally the sectors show internal zoning. Abundant, euhedral, large apatite crystals up to 7 mm in length or scarce, euhedral yellow 5 mm diopside crystals of older generation occur as intergrowths in the megacrysts. The 1 - 2 mm reaction fringes cover the margins of megacrysts. The megacrysts have the composition of iron-rich diopside. ... Textural relationships (large broken crystals with intergrowths of euhedral apatite and older generation diopside) suggest that the megacrysts are fragments of very coarse-grained cumulate. Major and trace element composition suggests that the megacrysts formed at significant depth (lower crust? upper mantle?) from the LREE enriched alkaline melt. That melt was very rich in phosphorous which enabled its saturation in apatite at the early stages of solidification.
