Conca de Tremp–Montsec UNESCO Global Geopark is located in the northeast of Spain, in the province of Lleida in Catalonia, 200km from Barcelona. It is located in the central part of the Southern Pyrenees and along the ECORS-Pyrenees transect, which is the most representative and known cross-section of any part of the Pyrenean range and represents a landmark for modern geology worldwide in the understanding of mountain belts. The territory of the UNESCO Global Geopark is characterized by a set of East-West oriented mountain ranges and basins, defined by gentle topography. This alignment corresponds to the various overthrust nappes related to the geological record of the past 550 million years containing fossils of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants that help us understanding the evolution of life in this area. In the north, you can find the Axial Pyrenean zone with the oldest rocks of the mountain range. To the south, there are minor intermountain sedimentary basins developed when thrust sheets were formed (Tremp basin, Àger basin). Conca de Tremp–Montsec has a complete stratigraphic series of the Mesozoic. From this era, it must be highlighted the Upper Cretaceous rocks, where the remains of bones, tracks and eggs of the last dinosaurs in Europe are preserved. Moreover, it is worth mentioning the unique preservation of the late syn-orogenic sediments in relative internal parts of the system Middle Eocene-Oligocene conglomerates. This area is internationally recognized as a natural laboratory for sedimentology, tectonics, external geodynamics, palaeontology, ore deposits and pedology. In addition, other natural and cultural heritage is also remarkable including astronomy and archaeological sites.
