Geologic Excursion - A geological excursion in the Oslo area

Join an excursion to geological locations around Oslo in this movie. The area known as the Oslo area, where the capital of Norway Oslo is located, is well known for rocks with a very interesting and varied geological history. Here we find Precambrian rocks, fossil-bearing sediments from the Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian, igneous rocks of lava, and also some sediments from the late Carboniferous period and Permian period. The film emphasizes the sedimentary rocks of Cambro-Silurian and the geology of the area around the inner part of the Oslo Fjord.

The film takes you to 20 places in and around Oslo.
