Seismites in the Granada Geopark, Spain. Galera and Castilléjar seismites: seismic waves transform sediments into a kind of quicksand. The water in the sediment's pores is expelled, separating the grains and transforming the material into a viscous fluid (liquefaction) that congeals into thousands of concentric structures throughout the sedimentary stratum.

Empreintes fossilisées de mammifères de l'époque Oligocene dans le Luberon (dalle de Saignon). Empreinte à 3 doigts de Ronzotherium (Rhinoceros), et à 2 doigts d'Entélodon (Phacochère). Ancien rivage boueux d'un lac, la dalle à empreintes fossiles de Saignon est un site exceptionnel où sont conservées des centaines de traces de pas de mammifères (des parents du rhinocéros, du chevrotain ou du phacochère) et des empreintes d’oiseaux, animaux qui peuplaient le Luberon il y a 33 millions d’années. Les sites à empreintes de pas fossiles de mammifères sont très rares à l’échelle de la planète. Le Luberon en présente plusieurs, dont la dalle de Carlet à Saignon. Geoparc du Luberon. France

Fossilized mammal footprints from the Oligocene period in the Luberon (Saignon slab). Footprint of Ronzotherium (Rhinoceros) and Entelodon (Warthog). A former muddy lake shore, the Saignon fossil footprint slab is an exceptional site where hundreds of mammal footprints (relatives of the rhinoceros, chevrotain and warthog) and bird prints are preserved, animals that populated the Luberon 33 million years ago. Fossilized mammal footprint sites are extremely rare worldwide. The Luberon has several, including the Carlet slab in Saignon. Geoparc du Luberon. France

The Vallon de l'Aiguebrun in the Luberon. The Vallon de l'Aiguebrun is one of the Luberon Geosites. This impressive natural site features a canyon lined with majestic cliffs up to 100 metres high, and a landscape of jagged rocks. The Aiguebrun, which flows from the north of the Luberon into the Durance, carved out this spectacular valley through the Luberon limestone massif, creating what is known as the "Combe de Lourmarin".
