Ask about this lesson

M’Goun UNESCO Global Geopark provides a defensible context for learning about deep time, landforms, fossils and dinosaur footprints. The designation is not a provider recommendation or access guarantee.

For a multi-day geology programme, ask for the exact Atlas route, the field leader’s background and the observations you will make outdoors.

A retained field method

You should observe and record a first feature before interpretation, test the explanation at a second feature and revise a field note, sketch or annotated photograph.
