Localization of the maps

The nine geological maps are localized on the simplified geological map of Belgium and Luxembourg superposed with the 1:25,000 grid maps.

Illustration

The following image shows part of the geological map n° 160 Stavelot-Malmedy.

The following image shows the Stavelot city (upper right corner) that lies, on the northern part, on Permian conglomerate (brown) and on black slates (grey) of the Revin Group (named previously Revinian) in the southern part. The "Revinian" is partly covered by Quaternary alluvial deposits (green) of the "Amblève" river. The dark lines correspond to faults.
