Abstract
The geology of the Teruel province has been subdividided into six main geological units and/or domains. This division is a result of the wide geological diversity that can be observed across the area. The domains are the Albarracín Range, the Aragonese Branche of the Iberian Chain, the Maestrazgo, Gúdar and Javalambre massifs, the Tertiary formations in the Teruel sector of the Ebro Basin, the Teruel Basin and Jiloca Fosse, and the Neogene basins of Gúdar-Javalambre. The time interval for the outcropping geological formations in Teruel is wide, from Lower Cambrian to Recent. This aspect together with the inhomohogenous lithological distribution, complex structural framework and varied geomorphological features give place to a high diversity pattern, which provides a high potential for dissemination of the geological culture.
