The organs of Valsenestre, in the Ecrins massif. A spectacular geological site, the Orgues de Valsenestre (or Grande Bibliothèque - Great Library) are formed of thin strata, dating from the Lias, of blue-grey limestone and softer, more eroded schistose marl, compressed and laminated and raised vertically by the Alpine orogeny - Valsenestre - Massif des Ecrins - Alpes

Bristlecone pine multimillennial - Cedar Breaks NM Utah USA ; Older than 2000 years
Pines growing at very high altitude (3000 m) and can survive more than 4500 years;they are generally observed in the combat zone, where no other species can survive extreme conditions, and their roots are slowly exposed by erosion over the centuries

Les Mourres de Forcalquier. The rocks that make up today's Mourres were formed in a lacustrine environment around 25 million years ago. They are thought to have originated from the stabilization of limestone sediment by seagrass beds. More recently, differential erosion has uncovered edifices consolidated by algal constructions. The spectacular basin-like shapes are thought to have resulted from the necrosis of the central part of the algal islets as they grew vertically and laterally. France
