The Nyalga complex consists of more or less strongly thermally altered pelitic sediments and products of their partial melting (paralavas and vitreous clinker) exposed in three ≤40 m high erosion outliers. Melilite–nepheline paralava containing minerals of the rhönite–kuratite series (rhönite subgroup, sapphirine supergroup) occurs as scattered rock fragments or single blocks on the outliers or on eroded surfaces nearby. Clinkers and paralavas in the area often enclose xenoliths of burnt sedimentary rocks. Signatures of CM alteration in sediments were also found in the Tugrug coal quarry located 4–5 km southeast of the outliers.

Three outliers called Crown, Camel and Baby. The Nyalga melt rocks formed no later than 2 Ma ago by melting of mudstone, siltstone and iron-bearing carbonate-silicate sediments during combustion of brown coal.

Coordinates are for the Tugrug brown coal quarry in the Choir–Nyalga basin.
