- Between history and contemporaneous geology : revisiting a "classical" (geo) site from the Upper Cretaceous of PortugalPublication . Callapez, Pedro M.; Brandão, José Manuel Moraes Vale; Santos, Vanda Faria dos; Gomes, Celeste RomualdoThe history of geology intends to research biographies, ideas and controversies that have contributed to the epistemological building of knowledge, and to the products of fieldwork and laboratory investigation, and related written production on geosciences. A transversal research of all these elements allows revealing itineraries, outcrops and sites where pioneer studies have been done.Many of them still exist nowadays and are suitable for teaching and outreach activities of geoscientific literacy. An excellent example of this close link between history of geology and geoheritage can be explored in the “classical” outcrops of Salmanha (Figueira da Foz,West Central Portugal), where highly fossiliferous Upper Cretaceous carbonate units have been studied since the mid 19th century. Extensively described by Paul Choffat, from 1886 onwards, its stratigraphic sections and Cenomanian-Turonian faunas were major contributions for the scientific knowledge of that time, and can still be used as a source of information for modern workers and as an important resource for teaching and touristic activities.

- The Arrifes geosite: a fascinating glimpse into an Early Cretaceous ecosystem within the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (Portugal) [Resumo]Publication . Pereira, H. J. R.; Lopes, Francisco; Pérez-Cano, J.; Santos, Vanda Faria dos; Malafaia, Elisabete; Mendes, Márcia; Pereira, Zélia; Sweetman, Steven C.; Fernandes, Paulo; Callapez, Pedro M.ABSTRACT: Over a century after Paul Choffat's initial description of the Arrifes section, a pioneering figure in Portuguese geology who highlighted the vertical arrangement of the strata and the occurrence of a limestone bed containing a copious quantity of orbitolinid tests, this upper Barremian–lower Aptian stratigraphic succession, which is fully exposed along a coastal cliff section located 2.5 km west-southwest of Albufeira (Algarve, southern Portugal), has become one of the most outstanding geosites within the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark.
