What are the designs I see in Fernbank’s floor tiles?
A. Fernbank’s floors are made of prehistoric sediment from a limestone quarry in Germany. Fossils of prehistoric marine animals can be seen throughout the tiles, including the cigar-shaped belemnites (ancient relatives of squid), the coil-shaped ammonites (ancient relatives of the chambered nautilus), and the circular or “v”-shaped sponges (some of Earth’s most ancient life forms). The fossils are estimated to be approximately 150 million years old.
