- Geological globe of the world showing geology of both land and ocean floor, geological tints and linear features like fault lines, shaded physiographic base highlighting differences between oceans and continents.
- Injection molded plastic globes, printing on vinyl, thermoforming process.
- Based on the revised third edition of the Geological map of the world=Carte géologique du monde at 1:35,000,000 by Phillipe Bouysse (ISBN 9782917310243).
- "This representation, enhanced by a shaded physiographic base more attenuate in the continents than in the oceans, is the only one existing today that presents the world geological setting at a glance. There is a clearly distinguishable contrast between the continents -where rocks may attain an age up to nearly 4 billion years- and the oceanic crust, not exceeding 200 million years."--Publishers website.
