Continuous Digital Geological Map of the Principality of Asturias at 1:50.000 scale

The Continuous Digital Geological Map at scale 1:50.000, of the Principality of Asturias has been prepared by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (I.G.M.E.) in the framework of a collaboration agreement signed with the Principality of Asturias in 2006. Digital mapping is the result of the integration of geological maps carried out in two successive cartographic projects covering two large geological units of the Hespérico Massif and which make up most of the territory of Asturias: a) the Western-Leoness Asturo-Leoness Zone of the Varisco Massif (GEODE ZAOL), and b) the pre-Permian outcrops of the Cantabrian Zone of the Iberian Massif and the Permical, Mesozoic and Tertiary materials (GEODE ZC). The easternmost exthem of the Asturian region is completed with a small sector of the Basque-Canabrica Zone
