If most of the world's Sulphur Springs are formed in volcanically active places, Latvian Sulphur Springs are unusual in that they are formed in areas where peat contacts with gypsum rocks.Under the Quaternary peat deposits (Holocene epoch) lie Late Devonian gypsum rocks (Salaspils suite) which are washed by groundwater. Sulfate-reducing bacteria which emit hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in their process of life live in these conditions. The hydrogen sulfide oxidized in the water and sulphur precipitates at the bottom of the sulphur spring.
