geological formations (geological concepts, physical sciences concepts, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |

Note: In geology, the fundamental units of lithostratigraphy comprising distinctive assemblages, layers, or units of rock in an area, characterized as being of homogeneous origin and appearance. The designation and limits of a given geological formation may vary, depending upon the criteria imposed by the cataloging body. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Binnen de geologie de fundamentele eenheden van de lithostratigrafie, waarmee duidelijk afgebakende groepen, lagen of eenheden van steen met eenzelfde oorsprong en uiterlijk binnen een bepaald gebied worden aangeduid. De benoeming en afbakening van een bepaalde geologische formatie kunnen verschillen naargelang de criteria die door het catalogiserende instituut worden opgelegd. |
