A geoheritage quantitative analysis method applied to a chosen area is proposed. The natural heritage, involving geological richness, is increasingly threatened by activities such as large surface agriculture, infras-tructures, etc., endangering the geological heritage, which translates to an impoverishment of the general heritage and the global geological history. The interest aroused by protecting these unique and irreplaceable assets, led to the de-velopment of different techniques or tools to geoconservation. As a matter of fact, the international development of geoconservation is quite heterogeneous and so are their action plans for protecting geological and geomorphological wealth. Several methods were defined for this practice, and in this opportunity, a methodology is proposed within the initial phase of inventory and quantiation of potential geosites.

Keywords : Geoheritage; Geoconservation; Geosite; Methodology.
