„Orion Window“ besticht durch seine stark ausgeprägte grüne und braune Aderung, die durch Vermischung von zähflüssigen Mineralien zustande kamen. Der im STEINBILD „Orion Window“ verarbeitete Serpentinit entstand vor ca. 160 Mio. Jahren im Zeitalter der Pangäa.

History of origins

Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history

At the time of the 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 decline 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, lush 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.
