Product Description
Interactive 3D View
If you would like a custom relief map, contact me through my website or through Shapeways. Check out photos of my other 3D prints.
The Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara and Guelb er Richat, is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara near Ouadane, west–central Mauritania.
The Richat Structure is a deeply eroded, slightly elliptical dome with a diameter of 40 kilometres (25 mi). The sedimentary rock exposed in this dome ranges in age from Late Proterozoic within the center of the dome to Ordovician sandstonearound its edges. The sedimentary rocks comprising this structure dip outward at 10°–20°. Differential erosion of resistant layers of quartzite has created high-relief circular cuestas. Its center consists of a siliceous breccia covering an area that is at least 30 kilometres (19 mi) in diameter.

The model is created at a scale of 1:225,000 with 15x vertical exaggeration. It features a built-in base, so it sits perfectly on a desk or in a frame.
