"Muscum Nightshift" is characterized by the dark and subtle expressions of the structures in various shades of green and gray. The quartzite processed in the STEINBILD "Muscum Nightshift" was formed about 400 million years ago, when the Variscan mountain formation took place 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 primitive 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.
