Incredible day spent hiking through the Cottiennes Geo park. View from the top of the Chenaillet massif.
Fascinating geology of the well-preserved alpine oceanic crust.
Day 2: Classic Outcrop of the Ornan Fault, Basement and Fault Plane to the right and Jurassic Olistolith containing blocks of Triassic dolostone and basalt to the left #mgeol
#MGeol Alps Field Trip Day 1: Urgonian Platform carbonates near Font d'Urle. Between the Urgonian cliffs are vegetation covered deeper water sediments - representing flooding events. Stunning landscape and outcrop #geology
Yesterday marked our first day out in the field! Fair to say we were hot, sweaty and confused π
We visited 5 localities, looking at the Urgonian Formation platform carbonates. This photo was taken at our first outcrop - what a view.
Bonjour Twitter! For the next week, 8 students from @aberdeenuni will be in the French Alps, undergoing fieldwork with the aim of understanding the evolutionary and structural history of the alpine belt. Follow us for an insight into the start of our MGeol journey πβ°
