I spent some time with a local structural geologist getting a tour, the reconstructed cross sections are just amazing.<BR/><BR/>The wine, beer, food, hiking, cheese, tapas, and bread were all absolutely fantastic. Without the vertical transects I am sure I would have gained at least 20 lbs.Thermochronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606230819461771700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-35021476978048440482007-07-12T13:11:00.000-04:002007-07-12T13:11:00.000-04:00welcome back...very beautiful pictures...sounds li...welcome back...very beautiful pictures...sounds like an interesting project.<BR/><BR/>I have never visited, but there are some very famous turbidites in the Ainsa Basin (south-central Pyrenees). I don't know much about them, but I remember some studies showing a lot of syn-depositional structural relationships (i.e., growth strata, progressive unconformities, and the like)...the basins were deforming as they were filling...very complicated but very interesting.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to more posts about Spain....how was the wine?BrianRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930245080333999989noreply@blogger.com
