Hi all,

hope you had a good New Year, etc.

I have a trivia-type of question:

Is  _Ser. Aa.,  Kartblad i skalan 1:50000 med beskrivningar_ by Sveriges
geologiska undersoĢˆkning.  (geology maps of Sweden at 1:50,000) the
oldest geology map series in the world?  It was begun in 1861.  Maybe
something in England or France??  Or were the Swedes the first to do a
geology regular series?

thanks in advance,
