Geologists group sedimented rocks into units called "formations", these are groups of rocks with a specific age and characteristics that can be recognized in the field and, therefore, represented on a geological map. Every formation has a reference outcrop, as representative and accessible as possible, known as a "stratotype." The stratotype of the La Vid Group is located in La Vid de Gordón, a set of four formations from the Devonian period that are named Felmin, La Pedrosa, Val Porquero and Coladilla. Each of them presents different types of rocks, as were the conditions in which they were formed. A tour of this stratotype.
