De neoproterozoiska sedimentära bergarterna i Visingsögruppen är en av få kvarvarande spår från den här tidsperioden i Sverige. Tack vare dessa har vi en möjlighet att förstå hur landskapet såg ut under denna tiden. De olika miljöfaktorer som påverkade sedimenten när dessa deponerades är nyckeln till att kunna måla en större bil. Det vi ser i Visingsö-gruppen är hur en lokal, förhållandevis grund,The Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Visingsö Group are one of few remaining rocks from this time. They provide a vital clue to understanding how the landscape looked at this time. The various environmental factors that prevailed and affected deposition are key to paint a bigger picture. The Visingsö Group shows how a local, fairly shallow, environment is subject to a long-term transgressio
