4 Geodynamic evolution of the landscape 500 million years ago there was an ocean where sand and clay sediments have been deposited 300 million years ago the collision of tectonic plates lead to the formation of a mountain belt by deformation of the sedimentary rocks previously formed

6 Albarda Fold Skolithos trace fossils Ripple marks What is the meaning of the name “Albarda” for the fold?

7 Roman Gold Mine How was the gold mined? Where did the gold come from?

9 What can be the importance of building a dam in this place?
