The Rya Formation (Swedish: Ryaformationen) is a geologic formation in Skåne County, southern Sweden. It is Early to early Middle Jurassic (early Sinemurian to late Aalenian) in age. The Rya Formation comprises siltstones, claystones, sandstones, mudstones and rare coal beds. The formation overlies the Höganäs Formation and is overlain by the Vilhelmsfält and Mariedal Formations. The formation was deposited in the Höganäs and Øresund Basins that formed in the earliest Jurassic as part of the break-up of Pangea. The 295 metres (968 ft) thick formation comprises four members, from base to top the Döshult, Pankarp, Katslösa and Rydebäck Members. The depositional environment of the formation ranges from continental to open marine. The Rya Formation has provided fossils of a number of sharks, ammonites, bivalves and ichnofossils. Coalified wood occurs as scattered pieces up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long and indeterminate belemnites, echinoids, serpulids, ostracods and nodosariid foraminifera were also recorded in the formation. Iron ooids containing erratic boulders, called Geschiebe in German, attributed to the Rya Formation were found in Holstein, northern Germany.

Ramlösa Hälsobrunn

Ramlösa hälsobrunn ('Ramlösa health well') (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈrâmːˌløːsa]) is a mineral spa located in Ramlösa in southeastern Helsingborg, Sweden, founded on 17 June 1707 by Johan Jacob Döbelius. The well was built around a chalybeate (iron-containing) spring, which Döbelius investigated in 1701, 1705 and 1706. During the 18th century, the reputation of the well increased and it was visited by guests from both Sweden and Denmark. Ramlösa well had its heyday in the early 19th century, when several members of the royal family and members of the nobility visited the facility regularly. In the late 1890s, a new and more mineral-rich alkaline spring was found, which was the start of bottled water in the country and the modern Ramlösa company. At the same time, the original activity of the mineral spa declined, and it was finally closed in 1973. Following threats of development in the 1970s, several of the buildings were protected as listed buildings and almost the entire park was classified as a protected area within the listed buildings designation.
