Dorset and East Devon Coast
The cliff outcrops along the Dorset and East Devon coasts provide an almost continuous sequence of rock formations spanning the Mesozoic Era, about 185 million years of Earth's history. The region's important fossil sites and typical coastal landform features have contributed to the study of Earth history for over 300 years.
Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains
The Barberton Makhonwa Mountains are located in northeastern South Africa and comprise 40% of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, one of the oldest geological formations in the world. The property represents the best-preserved sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks dating back to 3.6 to 3.25 billion years ago and is a treasure trove of information on surface conditions, meteorite impacts, volcanic activity, continental formation processes and the environment of early life.
