Granite frame (or it is called rock-the register) is a granite rock located on the banks of the Dnieper at Kremenchug, near the Central waterfront. This rock is a geological monument of nature and ancient geodetic mark. Until the mid-20th century was used as a reference point, that is a sign of the hardening point of the earth's surface.

A rock is a rock gray biotite-plagioclase medium-grained magmatic rocks that are crystalline rocks of the Ukrainian crystalline shield, aged about 2, 5-3 billion years. Rock is at a height of 5-6 meters above the river level. It displays markers that show the highest level of water at all times of floods on the river Dnieper, since the 18th century. These floods respectively occurred in 1789, then 1820, 1845, 1877, later, 1888, 1895, 1915, and the last mark in 1942. Absolute mark on the sole of the rock 69 meters.

This “rock-the registry” is very often mentioned in various publications before the revolution. And from December 1970 granite rapper became a natural monument of local importance, due to the decision of the Executive Committee of the Poltava regional Council under the 555. The total area of the monument to 0, 05 hectare or 200 square meters.

The first metal information plate near the cliff was installed in the 80-ies of the 20 century (approximately in 1983-1985), but by the end of 90-ies it was stolen. This sign was installed in 2000 and is made of gabbro stone.

About 3-4 billion years ago, these blocks was a hot, seething, boiling mass, and now you can enjoy these stones veterans directly from the waterfront.
