Politehnica subway station in Bucharest, Romania, is paved with marble plates full of fossils, which lived on Earth during Cretaceous ( 145.5 ± 4 to 65.5 ± 0.3 million years ago.) The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate and high eustatic sea level. The oceans and seas were populated with now extinct marine reptiles, ammonites and rudists; and the land by dinosaurs. It seems that in a hurry to launch the subway station, the builders havent paid much attention of what kind of marble they use. Since 1983, the marble extracted from Rosia Montana (Apuseni Mountains, Transylvania) is lying on the floor like a red carpet full of crumbs older than 80 million years. Epic.
