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

The Lithological Map 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 using lithological criteria, with the lithological association defining the limits of each unit.

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

The map is distributed free of charge in shape format through the IGME website.

Purpose

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

Statement

The lithological map at a scale of 1:1,000,000 is based on 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 original lithological association included in the information accompanying the edited map. They were subsequently revised and corrected in the light of the complete lithological descriptions of the chronolithostratigraphic legend. Finally, the new cartographic units were created, one per lithological association.

Description

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