Fontainbleu Sandstone Formation - 30 Million years old
"...by far the most spectacular, otherworldly and beautifully aesthetic are those known as "gogottes" found in the Oligocene formation at Fontainebleau, onetime home of the French monarchy. In this location, the concretions were formed by superheated water extruding through crevices into a basin of extremely fine, pure white silicate sand. The water itself was saturated with calcium carbonate (limestone) and as the superfine sand became suspended in the water and swirled around, the very movement of the water itself was captured in the gradually concreting stone. A deposit of small specimens was first discovered at the start of the twentieth century, and immediately captured the imagination of all those who came across them, most notably Jean Arp, who took them as inspiration for a number of his sculptures.
