"Dark Formation" is characterized by its white lightning veining, on a black background with a green tinge. The marble processed in the STEINBILD "Dark Formation" was formed about 130 million years ago, in the age when the first feathered dinosaurs were formed.
History of origins
Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history
At the time of the creation of the natural stone of this STEINBILD, South America began to separate from Africa. This created a narrow basin with no connection to the North Atlantic.
Mineralogy
The first flowering plants emerge and the high rainfall ensures expansion of the plant world. This created dense, lush tropical forests with more flowering plants. Red and green algae were considered rock formers. At the time, the first feathered dinosaurs formed, such as the carnivorous Microraptor
