“…The approaches for the inventory and the (semi-)quantitative assessment of geosites are numerous and differ to a certain (even significant) degree [11,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. They are equally important, but successful application of each approach depends on the local and national contexts.…”

“…They are equally important, but successful application of each approach depends on the local and national contexts. For the purposes of the present study, we prefer the approach already tested in various places of the world [54]. Its previous application in Russia and, particularly, Siberia, makes it particularly suitable for the Rudny Altai to maintain the consistency of the geosite reports within the large country.…”

The Rudny Altai is a western segment of the Altai orogenic belt. Its geological richness makes its geoheritage exploration an urgent matter. Investigations in the Loktevsky District (Altai Region, Russian Federation) have led to the finding of three notable localities, which are proposed as geosites. Field investigations and both qualitative and semi-quantitative (scoring by criteria) studies were carried out to characterize and value the geoheritage properties of these localities. The Neverovsky palaeoreef is a relatively large geosite, representing a Frasnian reef developed on a volcanic edifice. The Zolotukha section and the Razdolnoe section are smaller geosites representing deep-marine facies of the Giventian–Frasnian transition and the late Frasnian, respectively. Seven geoheritage types are established in the Neverovsky palaeoreef, and four geoheritage types are established in the other two geosites. Examination of rarity, accessibility, vulnerability, and other properties allows the ranking of the Neverovsky palaeoreef globally and the other two geosites regionally. The three proposed geosites need special geoconservation measures (especially regarding their rich fossil content). The palaeoreef can be used for the promotion of local tourism.

“…Geoheritage requires proper conservation for scientific and ethical reasons, and it also has potential to be used to explain both very typical and very peculiar features to beginners in Earth and Environmental sciences [1][2][3][4][5]. In other words, it is essential for present-day geoeducation [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], which can often be linked to geotourism [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Geoeducation has different aspects and levels, and commonly includes field trips organized for university students in geology, geography, and other Earth-related sciences.…”

Geoheritage requires proper conservation and has significant importance for geoscience education at universities. Furthermore, its related potential needs to be evaluated. This study focuses on two textbook localities (these are parts of larger geosites) from the Cenozoic orogenic belts, namely the Zagros and the Greater Caucasus. The novel, tentatively proposed approach aims at general geological characteristics of the localities, identification of the principal teaching topics and teaching opportunities, and semi-quantitative evaluation of the educational potential on the basis of several objective criteria. The Abmorghan anticline (Zagros, Iran) is suitable for learning about the regional Paleogene stratigraphy, carbonate platform evolution, and karst. The locality of the Skala monocline (Greater Caucasus, Russia) allows the deposition in past tropical conditions and monocline structures to be explained. Both localities can be used for training student skills and challenging their geological thinking. The semi-quantitative evaluation shows that the geoeducational potential of the Abmorghan anticline is advanced and that of the Skala monocline is moderate. The established potential can be exploited by universities, although this requires focusing attention on the other geoheritage sites and special marketing efforts.
