The geological repository of the IGME, which has been recently created after its incorporation into the CSIC.

This area comes from a previous area called “special infrastructures,  documentation and dissemination” that included the management and collection of documents and geological samples.

The new geological repository area comprises, for now, two large and important collections of samples and documents: those from the exploration of the subsoil in the form of boreholes and cuttings located in the core-repository of Peñarroya (Córdoba), and the MAGNATECA, where the samples from the elaboration of the MAGNA are kept and curated. In addition, it aims to incorporate and integrate the rest of the collections scattered in different IGME laboratories and offices. The geological repository will make available to the scientific community both samples/data of the largest institution in Earth Sciences of Spain, in the context
of the Open Science international strategy.
