Unlike artificially carved petroglyphs, animalia rock arts, such as those observed at Oyemekun tourist centre, are natural imitations of animals formed by intrusive quartzofeldspathic veins within charnockite massifs. The Oyemekun massifs in Akure, occur within the southwestern part of the Precambrian Basement Complex of Nigeria. These massifs, dominated by high-grade charnockitic plutons, are exposed as inselbergs, whale-back hills, locally brecciated outcrops that are intruded by several quartzofeldspathic and pegmatitic veins. Field data revealed sharp lithologic contacts between these granitoids and the older and adjacent Archean to Early Proterozoic migmatite–gneiss while petrographical observations showed that the charnockites contained orthopyroxene (hypersthene), hornblende, biotite, quartz and plagioclase in a granoblastic groundmass, with zircon minerals occurring in accessory amounts. The pegmatitic quartzofeldspathic veins, ranging in size from a few millimetres to tens of centimetres, form graphic intergrowths mimicking animal shape-profiles such as patterns of dove, mermaid, and reptiles. Other geomorphologic rock art features of interest include inselbergs that outcropped as a whale with barnacles, the snout of a pig, and a dolphin imitation. Although, the Akure charnockite massif has been studied for its mineralogy, geochemistry and lithological association with other basement rocks, especially the migmatite gneiss complex, they have not been studied for their geotourism and geoconservation potential. This work presents the animalia graphic of the Oyemekun massifs and attempts to provide interpretive storytelling in the form of geoeducation materials that explain magma flow and viscosity as processes for the formation of these rock-art patterns.

The objective is to develop a comprehensive literature review on quantitative assessment criteria for the tourist potential of geological sites, using bibliometric research as a key statistical tool for managing information and scientific knowledge. The literature search yielded 556 articles from the Scopus Preview and Google Scholar platforms, and after screening for relevant findings, 153 articles from 2013 to 2023 were selected. The final selection included only those articles that proposed methods with criteria for assessing tourism value, identifying 13 distinct quantification methods. The results reveal that there has been significant growth in research on the topic. Geographical analysis points to a higher percentage of contributions from European countries. Overall, a large portion of research focuses on the description and evaluation of the geotourism potential of specific areas. Other objectives include management and planning, proposal of geoparks, and comparison between evaluation methods. Few studies propose evaluation methods. This review identifies that there is no single method for evaluating geotouristic sites, and there is a need to complement or adapt existing methods. Evaluation methods are the only means to assess these values; however, they are subjective, and the results of the analyses depend largely on the knowledge and experience of the evaluator.

By focusing on the connections between natural landscapes and cultural heritage, the findings advocate for geotourism initiatives that promote community engagement, environmental stewardship, and economic sustainability. Kashmir has continually drawn attention from both Earth scientists and visitors due to its unique geographical location. Though its landscapes can be challenging to access, it remains a prime destination where rivers, lakes, historical sites, and glaciers are accessible by road, making it an ideal location for studying geosciences. Structurally, the Kashmir Basin is bounded by the Main Central Thrust to the southwest and the Zanskar Thrust to the northeast, offering a tectonically active setting that facilitates the study of Himalayan deformation. The Balapur Fault exposure provides a rare opportunity for in-situ structural and geomorphological training, while the jointed Panjal Volcanics and associated uplift driven by Himalayan orogeny have developed prominent geomorphic features such as the Panzkoot and Aharbal waterfalls—both of which are ideal for combined geoscientific education and public outreach. These findings underscore the importance of the region as a natural laboratory for understanding orogenic processes, paleoenvironments, and landscape dynamics. Of particular scientific significance is the Permo-Triassic boundary section at Guryul Ravine, which offers an uninterrupted 3-meter stratigraphic record of the end-Permian mass extinction—substantially exceeding the thickness of the globally recognized Meishan section in China. This site holds outstanding potential for nomination as an international geopark due to its stratigraphic completeness and relevance to global biotic and climatic transitions. Collectively, the proposed geosites underscore the Kashmir region's capacity to serve as a strategic geoscientific and geotourism hub. The study provides a novel, interdisciplinary foundation for advancing geoheritage conservation and promoting scientifically-informed, sustainable tourism in tectonically and culturally dynamic mountain environments.", "publicationTitle": "Geoheritage", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2025-05-22", "volume": "17", "issue": "2", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "85", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Geoheritage", "DOI": "10.1007/s12371-025-01117-1", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://doi.org/10.1007/s12371-025-01117-1", "accessDate": "2025-06-25T14:19:40Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "1867-2485", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "Springer Link", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Cultural geomorphology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Economic Geology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Geoheritage", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Geology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Geomorphology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Geotourism potential", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Historical Geography", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Historical Geology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Kashmir region", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "NW Himalaya", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Structural Geology", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "FNSSQIQZ", "J57HTTJ9" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2025-06-25T14:19:40Z", "dateModified": "2025-06-25T14:19:40Z" } }, { "key": "5FEPUX5Z", "version": 4290, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 4428, "name": "Eau et GEOpatrimoine-IGD", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/eau_et_geopatrimoine-igd", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/4428/items/5FEPUX5Z", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/eau_et_geopatrimoine-igd/items/5FEPUX5Z", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1221415, "username": "CedocIGD", "name": "Centre de documentation (UNIL-IGD, CH)", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/cedocigd", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Carr and Newbold", "parsedDate": "2025-02-11", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "5FEPUX5Z", "version": 4290, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "More People Would Visit Yellowstone If It Weren’t So Crowded: Optimal Congestion Pricing for High Demand Protected Areas", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Taurey", "lastName": "Carr" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Stephen C.", "lastName": "Newbold" } ], "abstractNote": "We propose a new revealed preference approach to estimate the optimal congestion price for a protected area subject to high visitation.

Initially, a comprehensive inventory of 120 geomorphosites was conducted in the study area. At each site, precise measurements of three topographical parameters were taken. Following this, three machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest, Multi-Layer Perceptron, and M5 Prime, were utilized to create predictive models. Regarding the model performance, the Multi-Layer Perceptron model achieved the highest performance with an area under the curve of 0.91, followed by the M5 Prime model with 0.77. These models identified highly favorable areas, which accounted for approximately 60% and 42% of the study area according to Multi-Layer Perceptron and M5 Prime, respectively. These areas were predominantly located in the western region, characterized by mountainous terrain with relatively shorter slope lengths and altitudes ranging between 2500 m and 3500 m.

The crucial date in Ciechocinek’s history was 1836, when four treatment copper bath tubs were installed in the local inn. This gave rise to the beginning of the Health Springs Enterprise, which was the origin of the Health Resort. The graduation towers of Ciechocinek are particular and they are the biggest wooden constructions which serve to vaporize brine’s water from the spring no. 11. The graduation towers were built in the shape of a horseshoe. Two first graduation towers were built in the years between 1824 and 1828 and the third in 1859. The height of towers is about 15.8 m and the total length of all of them is more than 1741.5 m. They constitute a unique monument of the nineteenth-century technology, one of few in Europe. In the graduation towers the concentration of salt brine takes place as a part of the salt production process. A characteristic feature of this process is the production of a natural aerosol with healing properties. Within the graduation towers there is a specific microclimate, a natural and curative inhaler. The technology of salt production, which is based on heating concentrated salt brine, has not changed in 190 years — it consists in heating concentrated brine. Thermal brines of the Na–Cl type and J type from borehole no. 14 (Terma 14) and borehole no. 16 (Terma 16) are used for Ciechocinek Spa mineral water supply. These boreholes are screened in the Dogger and Lias sandstones. The water in Terma 14 has mineralization (total dissolved solids (TDS)) of 43.5 g/L and the temperature on the borehole outflow is 28 °C. The water from Terma 16 has mineralization (TDS) of 53.4 g/L. It is thermal water and its temperature on the borehole outflow is 32 °C. The therapeutic thermal water in the Ciechocinek boreholes occurs at considerable depth and its resources are very slowly renewable. The therapeutic qualities of Ciechocinek springs are strongly recommended for curing cardiovascular, respiratory, orthopedic, traumatic, rheumatic, nervous system, and women’s diseases.

Obtained results showed that studied geosites disposed of a variety of natural landscapes, geological structures, and accessibility. Paleozoic and Triassic geostructures infiltrated by a fault-dominated Tahannaout and crossed by the Ghighaya river. In Moulay Brahim, basalt sections of the finished-Triassic age, surmounted by deposits of the Lias dominated the southeast, while sandstone-silty bars of the Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous age in the northeast. Reverse faults with N90 direction, the Mesozoic series, and the Paleozoic massif of Jbel Khelout added more good looks.

The present paper embodies and discusses aesthetic importance and geologic values of Columnar jointed basaltic dyke of Potla, also known as Kawadia Pahad—a geological treasure of Dewas District, Madhya Pradesh. The Potla dyke exposed in the form of seven detached linear ridges, trending ENE–WSW over a distance of 4.5 kms, having an average width of 80 m and exposed couple of meters (36 to 51 m) above the general ground level. The in situ columns in the dyke-ridges that so far been observed show straight, parallel faces without any striations. The length of the horizontal columns ranges between 1 and 3.60 m. The columns which are inclined and penetrated deep inside may have greater lengths. Such exposed columns have a height of 4.10 m which may be extending far downward. As far as diameter of the columns is concerned, it ranges between 30 and 50 cm. Each dyke-ridge consists perfectly separate, very well-developed, finely stacked and interlocked, horizontal to sub-horizontal columnar joints that inclined at various degrees. The columns are polygonal in the dyke-ridges, and majority show tetragon, pentagon, and hexagon shapes in cross section, but occasionally cyclic-hexagons can also be seen. The central part of the dyke, i.e. part of CR-5 and W-4 dyke-ridges, exhibits Dyke-Sill Hybrid Geometry. This monumental dyke-sill interface is not observed anywhere else except Columnar Trap Dyke of Potla, though this interpretation is based on orientation/interrelation of columns in the field. It is suggested that 66.6 ± 0.5 Ma is the crystallization age of the columnar basaltic dyke of Potla. The dyke is rarest of rare, and therefore, numbers of amenities are recommended to fascinate the tourists so that this Geosite should be developed and promoted as a new Geotourism destination of India. The Potla dyke is picturesque and matchless in which the development of the columns is magnificent and the arrangement of the columns is amazing. This world-class dyke fulfils all the requirements of Geoheritage and Geotourism and should get the status of National Geological Monument (NGM).
