  • Cover photo description:
  • Culminating the Serra da Boa Viagem, between the beaches of Murtinheira and Figueira da Foz, Cape Mondego is the only steep point on the Portuguese central coast. It is a portentous wrinkle of limestone rocks that enter the sea. Here, the Cape Mondego coal mines operated (the first in the country) and, in times, hydraulic lime was exploited.In the Jurassic outcrops each layer of sediments is a report of the Earth's geological evolution in the period between 185 MA and 140 MA. In summary, Cape Mondego presents high values ??in the fields of ammonite paleontology, transitional environments paleontology, sedimentology and dinosaur paleoichnology, constituting an international standard of reference - materialization and representation of a specific limit of geological time - enshrined by the International Union of Geological Sciences. This is the best place in the world to understand the formation of the Atlantic Ocean.
