Exploratour 03: Souvenirs vom Meer

Actually, you are going over corpses here. Much of the lime below them consists of the remains of tiny shells of kammerlingen or formaminifera", ammonites, belemnites, mussels, algae, etc. About 200 million years ago, they lived in a fleeing, Bahamas-like sea.

Even the clearly recognizable white veins of quartz were once part of a living being. The quartz was formed from the skeletal needles of sponges that inhabited the tropical sea.
