Central Skåne Volcanic Province, Volcanic province in Scania, Sweden
Central Skåne Volcanic Province is a geological area in the Scania region marked by more than one hundred volcanic necks and cone structures made of basalt. These formations spread across the landscape and create a distinctive terrain with basalt deposits and tuffite material.
Volcanic activity in this region occurred during an early geological period when the landscape was shaped by repeated eruptions over millions of years. Today the solidified magma channels and basalt structures stand as evidence of that distant time.
Scientists examine the preserved plant fossils at Korsarod site to understand the Early Jurassic vegetation patterns and environmental conditions of the region.
To explore this geological area, visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for uneven ground. Access is available through marked trails and paths that allow viewing of the various volcanic structures.
The area contains exceptionally preserved plant fossils from an early geological period, with details still visible under a microscope. This unusual preservation allows experts to understand the vegetation of that distant time.
