Abstract. In this article were described two small mountains of Kingisepp region which named Pustomerzhetskaya gora and Belaya gora. These mountains formed from of rocks of Idavere Regional Stage (Ordovician) which were repositioned in Valdaian time (Late Neopleistocene). In theirs forming blocks and boulders were found sixteen trilobite species. In sands from bottom of pit near Belaya gora were found marine fauna of the Pleistocene age.

Keywords: Leningrad district, Belaya gora, Pustomerzhetskaya gora, blocks and bouldеrs, Ordovician trilobites, Late Neopleistocene, marine fauna
