The Guilleries are a small and mountainous area located in the north-westem part of the Catalonian Coastal Ranges where metamorphic and igneous Paleozoic rocks are exposed. After the main hercynian folding this area was affected by a brittle deformation that is mainly manifested by the intrusion of a very large number of dykes of granodiorite and the development of a complex joint system. Trends of dykes indicate that their intrusion was related to a SE-NW extension, whose estimated value is 40% on an average. This extension seems to stand, although without any associated igneous event, with the development of NE-SW directed joints which make the main set. Five families more were developed later, onegently-dipping and fou upright; the latter trending roughly SE-NW, ENE-WSW, ESE-WNW and N-S. AU the joint sets appear in the metasedimentary Paleozoic rocks and in the hercynian intrusive bodies. Concerning the ages, joints that belong to the NE-SW and SE-NW directed sets and also those slightly dipping have been attributed to the late-hercynian times and all the other are considered to be later

Es descriu un aflorament volcànic inèdit localitzat al massís del Montgrí. Es troba a l'Aixart de la Conca, just al límit meridional de l'antigabase Loran de l'Estartit, dins el terme municipal de Torroella de Montgrí. Es tracta d'una xemeneia volcànica enclavada en les calcàries del cretaci inferior. Les bretxes i basalts que la constitueixen tenen un grau d'alteració molt elevat. Aquests materials han estat fortament erosionats i han donat lloc a una depressió tancada, d'aspecte semblant a una dolina, que fa uns 220 m de diàmetre màxim i té una profunditat d'uns 7 m

The Bac Grillera nappe (Prepirenean of Girona) shows a stratigraphic section composed of two unconformi ty-bounded units. The lower unit is composed by rethian (marly limestones) and liassic (brechoid marly limestones and limestones). The upper unit (sandstones and marly limestones) belongs to the upper Cretaceous (Campanian)

The boundaries of Solius (Santa Cristina d'Aro, Baix Empordà) from 916 to 1057. Basing its study on seven documentsfrom the years 916 to 1057, the place names are described and located on two maps marking the boundaries of the district of Solius (Santa Cristina d'Aro, Baix Empordà). There is an attempt to show, among these facts, that there actually existed three different districts of Solius, which we call here Solius Whole, Solius Maritime and Solius Continental; there is also reference made to the names of the different owners as well as the border relations with the neighbouring villages

Catalan volcanic field, in Iberian Peninsula Northeast, has been made during Neogene and Quaternary. It is made up Empordà, la Selva and la Garrotxa Zones, the best volcanic morphology is in the last one because is the most recent. In this paper we explain the volcanic rocks general characteristics, what eruption activity generate it and the final volcanic edifice morphology. Finally, we propose some crops to visit

Es descriu un aflorament volcànic localitzat a la rodalia del mas Ventós (el Port de la Selva), a la part central de la serra de Rodes, dins el Pirineu axial. Es tracta d’una xemeneia volcànica enclavada en granodiorites gneissificades. Els materials que la componen són basalts olivínics alcalins amb textura traquítica, bastant alterats, els quals queden colgats per un dipòsit col·luvial sense consolidar. Les dimensions de la xemeneia són difícils de determinar pel recobriment que presenta: supera els 70 m en direcció nord-nord-est a sud-sud-oest i és d’uns 35 m en la perpendicular a aquesta. Aquest aflorament va ser citat per Teixidor fa més d’ un segle, i no s’ha retrobat fins ara
