History of origins
Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history
At the time of formation of the natural stone of this STEINBILD, mountain building took place around the Pacific Ocean. Subduction of the Pacific plates started the unfolding of the Andes. Regression in Central Europe due to the Rückgang of the sea. Pangäa finally broke apart.
Mineralogy
The first flowering plants emerged and the high rainfall ensured the expansion of the plant world. This resulted in dense, üppige tropical forests with more flowering plants. Due to the strong reef formation, hexacorals, clams, crinoids and spiny lobsters appeared. Moreover, in this period Archaeopteryx (prehistoric bird) is well developed with feathers and skeleton.
