"Turtle Wild" is distinguished by its unusual structure, which is reflected in the brown shades in the form of a turtle shell. The trachyte processed in the STEINBILD "Turtle Wild" was formed about 70 million years ago, in the Tertiary era.
History of origins
Each STEINBILD tells the probably oldest story in the world - our earth history
The Tertiary period saw a veritable upsurge of angiospermous plants. New species of plants were continuously formed. Evergreen trees and shrubs, which spread throughout Asia, form the basis of today's vegetation in Europe. The last species of dinosaurs such as T-Rex, Gallimus and Belemnites disappear. Mammals replace reptiles as the dominant group of animals. Modern birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates were already formed at the beginning and evolved over time.
