World Geology Map // Small

4.6 billion years of geological history has been distilled into the incredible World Geology Map. A layered art piece, this map gives you a laser-precise vision of all the mega-structures and most important geological groups that have resulted from the turbulent history of the Earth's surface over it's entire history. It uses the less-common Winkel Tripel projection to produce a wonderfully spherical-looking map, lending a graceful curve to the major oceans, highlighted by their geological contours. It can even be used to trace different lithospheric plates, sub-plates and micro-plates that make up the surface of our planet. You could use it to get to know your Chronostratigraphic units from your Large Igneous Provinces, your Abyssal Plains from your Mid-Oceanic Ridges, or you could just revel in the extraordinary beauty of mapped data.

Featuring metallic seas and gloss-varnished landmasses in sublime shades, the paper version of this map is printed on the highest-quality, FSC-approved silk-coated paper, but it is also available in a plastic gloss finish that can be written on and wiped off like a whiteboard, and a magnetic metal version that can hold notes or photos, like a refrigerator door.

Each print is made using a lithographic printing process that works like a mechanized version of traditional screen printing. A plate is made for each color and then laid down individually, creating a stunning effect with maximum definition and impact. A sealer is applied to protect the inks and gloss UV varnish is used to add contrast and highlight boundaries.
