Gypsum quarry (quarry no. 6146, Gesseira Pedrosa Reis, Lda - active in 2011).
"A área onde esta exploração de gesso se encontra é caracterizada geologicamente por um cortejo de rochas sedimentares com idades variáveis desde o Pliocénico até ao Cretácico, intruídas pelo diapiro de Monte Real, composto por margas gessíferas do Jurássico (margas da Dagorda), e por rochas básicas do tipo dolerito e afins. Este conjunto de rochas é coberto localmente por aluviões modernos.
