Lithological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands at scale 1:1.000.000

The Map of Geological Ages of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is a map produced by the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME) based on the Geological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands published in 1995.

The cartographic units represented in it have been established by means of chronostratigraphic criteria, which have been specified down to the Series. The chronostratigraphic classification used was the "International Stratigraphic Chart" published in 2008 and drawn up by the International Commission on Stratigraphy of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).

The igneous and metamorphic rocks have been assigned the corresponding chronostratigraphic section.

The geological information for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands is in UTM projection, zone 30, Postdam datum. The information on the Canary Islands is in UTM projection, zone 28, datum Pico de las Nieves.

The map is distributed free of charge in shape format.

Purpose

The Geological Ages map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands has been generated as a contribution to the OneGeology initiative that aims to create a geological map of the world from national maps under interoperability standards. This map complements the map of Lithologies of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands...

Statement

The map of Geological Ages was drawn up on the basis of the Geological Map of the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands at a scale of 1:1,000,000, 1995 edition.

Each geological unit was assigned the System or set of Systems it encompasses, established in the chronolithostratigraphic legend. Finally, the new cartographic units were generated from the common geological age.

Process step

No information provided.
Description

The map contains the chronolithostratigraphic units separated by undifferentiated geological contacts and the tectonic structure represented by faults and thrusts.
