Ferrantia, Volume 94: The Geology of the Éislek Area (North of Luxembourg)
The north of Luxembourg, known as the Éislek (Oesling), extends to the SE of the Belgian Ardenne and continues eastwards into the German Eifel, through the Rhenish shield. The subsoil mainly consists of Lower Devonian-age terrain (Pragian and Emsian, from -413.02 Ma ± 1.91 Ma to -393.47 ± 0.99 Ma), including the Mirwart, Villé, Kautenbach-Troisvierges, Jupille, Our, Clervaux and Wiltz formations, listed in order from oldest to most recent.
At the regional scale, the studied area is located:
- In the SE of the axial zone of the Ardenne Anticlinorium drawing a marked elbow shape. To the west, it corresponds to the E-W axis of the Rocroi Massif, whilst to the east, it aligns with NE-SW axis of the Stavelot Massif.
- At the level of the Neufchâteau - Wiltz - Eifel Synclinorium.
This publication summarizes the geological mapping work conducted at a scale of 1:10,000 over the period 2011-2025.
