serpentine, wildpark,

Snake rock

Not a menhir, but one of the geology exhibits in amongst the goats, horses and boars in the Wildpark. This particular chunk of rock is serpentine from Greece, age ca. 171 million years.

    I didn't know this name "serpentine", your post is impressive and informative.
    I also liked the scenery!

    Wow. My mind cannot grasp the awesome age. I like its colors and patterns — it must be fabulous when you stare at it up close.
