How is chalk formed? What is a fossil? Why is there a sea between England and France?
The GéodéO series is here to answer your questions!

GéodéO is part of the Geodiversity Action Plan for the Hauts-de-France region, jointly led by the Conservatoire d’Espaces Naturels des Hauts-de-France and DREAL Hauts-de-France. This collection, designed to evolve and grow over time, is aimed at both geology enthusiasts and anyone curious to understand how our landscapes were formed and to learn more about our history.
