My 3rd Year dissertation took me on a month-long trip to the Pyrénées-Atlantique region of southern France in 2015, to describe and interpret the geology of a 25km² area around the commune of Sarrance. The locality is within the narrow North Pyrenean Zone, which experienced some of the most intense tectonic folding of the Pyrenean mountain-building in the early Cretaceous period.
I ended up with a 1:10,000 geological map, cross-section interpretations along three planes, a local stratigraphic log, a written report, and the terrible prospect of giving a presentation on the lherzolite peridotite mantle rock outcrops that characterise the NPZ.
