Specific sites of particular interest are identified and described in detail, containing rare or exceptionally well preserved geologic occurrences (rocks, fossils, structures, etc.).

The application is part of a project campaign to raise public awareness about the importance of inclusive education for children with special educational needs. It was developed by experts from FER with the assistance of experts from ERF.
