RUTA 1 PUNTO 19

 Punto 19: Estopar (Plano Ruta 1)

En este punto podemos girar nuestra vista y ver Castrojimeno desde lo alto lo que nos permite apreciar la forma del pueblo y como se ha aprovechado de la geología del entorno y como está fuertemente condicionado por ello.

 



Este paraje semejante a una estepa, cubierto de hierbas bajas de tipo pastizal y alguna sabina (aunque en Castrojimeno los denominan enebros) se conoce tradicionalmente en Castrojimeno como Estopar.

ROUTE 2 WAYPOINT 11

Waypoint 11. "Tapiology" the geology and its environment   (Map Route 2) This wall has been built using different rocks of its surroundings, we can practically indicate in a clear way, where all or almost all the rocks that form it have come from. If we look in detail we see several rocks with the already classic rudists, (these tubes or circular holes in the rocks). We find here rudists of diverse origin and typology, which allows us to make a review of the regional paleontology. 1) Hippurites incisus : characterized by its irregular morphology with two very marked partitions in the shell which generates two large wrinkles in the interior space. 2) Biradiolites canalictus : rather thin in diameter and long, they stand out for not having these inner pillars, but nevertheless have a very thick and folded shell. 3) Radiolites sauvagesi : of large diameter without inner pillars, and very thick shell with different overlapping lamellae; which gives an external appearance of ...

ROUTE 1 WAYPOINT 10 AND ROUTE 2 WAYPOINT 10

  Waypoint 10: The Radiolites  (Map route 1)   (Map Route 2) Often we hide the greatest jewels so no one finds them, it is our small treasure. Perhaps it is not the most valuable one, but we take care of it as we are really fond of it. Below this bridge the stream flows, nature provides us with a small present. If we have a look, it is possible to find a small patch of radiolites, quite worn out by water. Nevertheless, it is easy to appreciate the thick shell with a "gipsy skirt-like" morphology  and the shell without internal structures asides from and small ligament. One of the casualties that nature gives us its in meltdown time, when the stream carrioes a relatively elevated flow, we can see these rudist underwater. It is in this moment when we can imagine ourselves submerged at this reef that covered all of Castrojimeno village.
