Gibraltar? edit

Shouldn't the Rock of Gibraltar be mentioned in the article? It is of great geological importance as it is unique in the peninsula. --Gibmetal 77talk 15:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Have you got any information about it as in a URL or reference? I think its worth including. Other parts for expansion are earthquakes, and mining. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately I'm not an expert in geology so my knowledge on this is pretty much limited to that found in the Rock of Gibraltar article. It seems you have a better understanding of the subject than me, so perhaps you could look at the article and it's references and fish out anything useful? --Gibmetal 77talk 00:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
That article is pretty good, althoug the best references are not included. I would like to include it, I just have to figure out where it fits in. The Betics section is possible. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yes it seems to form part of the Baetic Cordillera. --Gibmetal 77talk 02:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I have sliced a piece accross into this article. For Andorra I am planning to write a seperate article, I have drawn a map for this country.
 
Andorra geology map

I've already seen it, thanks. However, shoudln't Andorra at least be mentioned in this article, seeing as it is about the peninsula as a whole? I personally think there should also be separate articles for Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar; or at least divide this article to separate each country/territory into sections. Your views? --Gibmetal 77talk 09:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I need to do more research on the Pyrenees before I am sure what to write for Andorra, you already included Andorra your self as a mention. The reason I put in the whole peninsula of Iberia is that the geology ignores the political boundaries, and the structures run across both Portugal and Spain, so just about everything in a Portugal article would also have to appear in the Spain article. If I get around to adding maps you will be able to see yourself, and perhaps could carve up into country articles. My vision is to have geology mentioned in all the geographic articles, but it is too much work for me to do for Iberia. But should be possible to do for the countries. There is also a bit of a discussion going if every state of the USA needs a geology article. Some say not, but I say yes. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
I just mean it would be easier for someone to find the information they need if they are searching for information on just the geology of Portugal for example. Maybe just some formating of this article would help this. You have done some great work on the article so far, well done! --Gibmetal 77talk 13:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm a non-geologist and novice Wikipedian. I recently visited Spain and was curious about the origin of unfamiliar geologic features there. I sought help in this article but found it impossible for me to understand a single sentence. It would be helpful to have an article written for non-geologists that provided a non-technical description of Iberian geology, including some pictures.Emax9 (talk) 15:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you took some photo's yourself, perhaps you could load them into Wikipedia, and mention it here, and then they can be included along with explanation as to what they are! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
As a geologist I have to agree with Emax. The article is not readable for a specialist either. Some paragraphs contain good information, some are nonsense, there is no general introduction or a logical structure to give the novice reader a clue. The figures are of mountains, that is: the "geography of the Iberian Peninsula". Geological diagrams, stratigraphic columns, maps and cross-sections would do wonders here (though a map of just a small area like the Andorra one above is meaningles). So would pictures of outcrops and maybe fossils.
I would like to do something about it, but it is just too much work for now. Only the header discourages me to continue reading: the article is called "geology of the Iberian Peninsula", yet it says it is about "geologic formations", egg. the "stratigraphy of the Iberian Peninsula". Says it all. Woodwalker (talk) 13:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
