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

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.

Lichens and gypsum macrocrystals from the Sorbas Karst in Andalusia. The Sorbas gypsum karst is unique in Europe. The aridity of the region, close to the Tabernas desert, means that layers of gypsum, carved out by erosion into karst like limestone, remain on the surface. This gypsum was formed when the Mediterranean dried up during the Messinian crisis in the Miocene (-6 Ma), leaving behind huge evaporite deposits.
