"Alaska Flood" features curved veining in silver and black, resembling a stream. The natural stone processed in the STEINBILD "Alaska Flood" was formed about 350 million years ago, when the Variscan mountain building occurred due to the collision of two continents.
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, a Variscan mountain building (collision of two continents) took place. This started the unfolding of the Rhenish slate mountains Harz and Eifel.
Mineralogy
At the end of the age, lush forests emerged with the first ancestors of conifers and the first seed plants. The primeval ferns (vascular plants) had already spread over a wide area. These were able to develop and spread quickly because there were no large herbivores at the time. At the same time, the ammonites were developing well.
