They comprise a string of limestone klippen which originated as an interplay of Lower Miocene nappe tectonics and later selective erosion that removed weak Tertiary flysch and morphologically enhanced limestone blocks. Major morphological features are attributed to the lithology and thrust and-fold tectonics of Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous limestones which form the core of individual klippen structures. Monoclinal structures with west-facing escarpments and rather gentle eastward-oriented dip slopes have been sculptured chiefly by mass movement and karstification. Immediate surroundings of the Pavlov Hills offer some of the famous Upper Pleistocene localities in Europe involving worldwide known Upper Paleolithic (Gravettian) excavations.
