France/Spain: The Pyrenees (highest point 3404 m), extends from the Bay of Biscay (west) to the Gulf of Lyon (east). The range began forming about 320 million years ago and was strongly uplifted again during early stages of Eurasian-African plate collision. This fine stereophoto pair reveals details of folded and faulted strata of the southern Pyrenees near Pamplona. Tin, tungsten, talc, fluorite, barium and gold have been mined from the mountains, and petroleum is produced from the adjacent Aquitaine sedimentary basin.
