Quaternary –age This web map service shows the chronostratigraphic age of geological units of the seafloor originated in the Quaternary period (i.e. 2,588 Ma from now until today). The data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet Geology partner organisations in the EMODnet Geology project. The scale varies between 20 000 and 2 500 000. Quaternary -lithology This web map service shows the rock type (lithology) of geological units of the seafloor originated in the Quaternary period (i.e. 2,588 Ma from now until today). The data were compiled by BGR from the EMODnet Geology partner organisations in the EMODnet Geology project.
