From Calcium Carbonate to the Colosseum - While visiting the Colosseum, it was pointed out that fossils were still visible in the stone. This made me consider how something as small and insignificant as a leaf preserved in sediment could contribute to something as large and remarkable as the Colosseum. This book takes a closer look at the transformation of travertine, beginning with the small leaf fossilized in the sediment, and ending with the Colosseum as it remains today.
