First scientific visit to La Pedrera, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9ologique de France<\/a><\/h2>\n

In 1898 several members of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9ologique de France<\/em> made a tour of the Montsec area. According to Aragon\u00e9s (2019), within the extraordinary meeting that the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Geologique de France held in Barcelona in 1898, a visit to the central region of Lleida, led by Vidal, was scheduled. They are accompanied on the visit by Jaume Almera, Artur Bofill and Patrick-William Stuar-Menteath. On Wednesday 13 they arrive in Vilanova de Mei\u00e0 and at noon they start the crossing to Montsec through the Pas de les Eugues and arrive at Pas Nou. In Vidal’s notes there is nothing to indicate that they visited the lithographic limestones. On the other hand, it was not until a few days after the excursion that he recognized the limestone of La Cabroa and, in addition, at the time of the excursion no fossil had yet come out of La Pedrera, which was already in operation. We can consider the period of commercial extraction of the quarry as a paleontological campaign because, during the works, there was a certain control over the fossil remains that came out when the stone blocks were removed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1910 harvest campaign<\/a><\/h2>\n

Vidal was part of the Technical Board of the Museum of Natural Sciences integrated in the Geology Report. It was within the framework of this board that he proposed, in 1910, an excursion to Montsec with the aim of enriching the collection of fossils in Catalonia. A 25-day campaign was planned, which took place during the spring and was carried out by the museum’s collector, Mr. Josep Colominas, at a total cost of 500 pesetas. There is no record of a visit to La Pedrera or what fossils were collected.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","years":[17],"class_list":["post-25828","history","type-history","status-publish","hentry","years-17"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLlu\u00eds Mari\u00e0 Vidal first campaigns - Pedrera de Meia - Geoparc Origens<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pedrerademeia.geoparcorigens.cat\/en\/historia\/lluis-maria-vidal-first-campaigns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Llu\u00eds Mari\u00e0 Vidal first campaigns - Pedrera de Meia - Geoparc Origens\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"First scientific visit to La Pedrera, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9ologique de France In 1898 several members of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9ologique de France made a tour of the Montsec area.
