Abstract
The concept of the volume is to survey all the key geoparks throughout Europe in
terms of their palaeontological significance. The first 25 articles in this Part cover
the long span of geological time from the Precambrian to the Permian, arranged
in chronostratigraphic order. These document some of the most important early
stages in the history of life, from its origin to the devastation end-Permian mass
extinction.
