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'm disappointed not a menhir but what are big greek stones doing in Germany?

    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.
