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 undersoĢkning. (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,
