Geology of the basement rocks of Andorra, central Pyrenees by A. Margalef, P. Clariana, J. M. Casas, J. García-Sansegundo

“…The study area lies entirely in the Axial Zone of the Pyrenees, where only late Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks and Quaternary deposits crop out. The map is produced at 1:25,000 scale and Quaternary deposits have been removed, in order to obtain a continuous basement map that can be used as the basis for stratigraphical and structural works. …”

Hidden Fossils of The Hondsrug Complex Connect Time and Space by Margaretha Roelfs, Harry Huisman

“…But this is a special case because the fossils are ‘hidden’ in erratic blocks, and testify to Earth history thousands of miles north in the Baltic Sea and millions of years earlier, in the Paleozoic. The Geopark can teach not only the local geological, cultural and natural heritage but also geology and life far beyond.…”
