flysch, the whisper of the rocks
Geology is the science that studies planet Earth, and geologists are the detectives looking for leads that allow the reading and interpretation of the pages of its history.
From its birth 4,600 millions of years ago, planet Earth has constantly been changing. Only 50 millions years ago an island called Iberia was drifting in the sea until it collided with the European continent. The marine sediments fossilised in the last 100 million years rose from the sea to form the Pyrenees, and the non-stopping sea erosion has given place to a book in the coast of the Bay of Biscay that is wide open.
