Illustration

The following image shows part of the geological map n° 160 Stavelot-Malmedy.

The following image shows the Stavelot city (upper right corner) that lies on the northern part on Permian conglomerate (brown) and on black slates (grey) of the Revin Group (named previously Revinian) in the southern part.

The “Revinian” is partly covered by the Quaternary alluvial deposits (green) of the “Amblève” river. The dark lines correspond to faults.
