Field Geosciences Teaching Module: Geoparks and Geosites Geopark Naturtejo Meseta Meridional Penha Garcia: What are the evidences to reconstitute environments from the past?

Geological Map of Naturtejo Global Geopark Penha Garcia Ichnological Park

480 million years ago… What are the evidences of an ancient ocean in Penha Garcia?

Trilobites What are the evidences for the presence of trilobites at Penha Garcia?

Trilobites The burrows made by trilobites were preserved - Cruziana

Marine worm life Skolithos are vertical tubes made by worms for living

Diagenesis Marine deposition and diagenesis

What kind of rocks may we find in Penha Garcia as result of marine sedimentation?

Ripple marks Current ripples Wave ripples

Penha Garcia Ichnological Parl 400 million years ago… During the formation of the supercontinent, the tectonic plates collided each other and the marine sediments caught in between were folded Penha Garcia syncline is formed

Uplifted beds What are the most recent beds in the sequence?
