This block of sandstone rock surrounded by deep marine sediments gives us invaluable information about the paleoenvironmental conditions in which these materials were found more than 400 million years ago. The presence of large fragments of rock sedimented between fine-grained materials that are interpreted…
View moreIt is an area that offers a general overview of the entire geology of the Geopark and the Alto Tajo Natural Park, some display cases contain hand samples of the most representative rocks and the possibility of observing them in detail using a system of magnifying viewers, several panels…
View moreIt is a valley excavated by the Mesa River that originates in the municipality of Sélas and flows towards the north, forming part of the Ebro hydrographic basin. Its main geological value is based on the fact that it is embedded in an important sedimentary series from the periods Triassic, Jurassic…
View moreIt is a valley excavated by the Arandilla River in sandstones of the Buntsandstein facies from the Lower Triassic, a reference for the entire Iberian Mountains. The quality with which the details of the stratification of these sediments appear recorded, together with the ease of study they offer, has led to defining...
View moreIt is a small valley excavated by the Linares River that constitutes a very extensive sample of the geological and environmental elements that characterize the Molina Region. We highlight the following. The slopes of the valley reveal different types of rocks that show us how they determine biotic communities...
View moreThis is the most notable of the many chasms that we can find in the moors that separate the valleys of the Alto Tajo. These moors are the vestige of the wide plains developed at the end of the Neogene in our region and are developed on limestone and dolomitic materials of age…
View moreThey are one of the most internationally relevant fossils that the Molina Region has. Their fossilization occurred due to a Hawaiian-type volcanic eruption, fissured and non-explosive, which covered them with a mantle of lava and pyroclasts. Its importance is due to several characteristics:…
View morePit with the greatest environmental wealth, its name is due to the rockfall caused by a strong earthquake with its epicenter in Portugal that occurred in the mid-16th century. This landslide created a natural dam on the Tagus River that reduced its flow until it was almost dry for a certain time. In this…
View moreIt is a place where all the environmental values that exist in the Molina Region are represented. We are going to highlight the following: Landscape value: The Triassic materials of the Buntsandstein Germanic facies offer attractive erosive forms among which the El Uso and La Tinaja tormos stand out, united…
