Marlstone aggregate concretion from the Pleistocene of Quebec, Canada. (public display, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA)
Concretions are post-depositional structures found in some sedimentary successions, particularly in shales. They vary in mineralogy, size, and shape, but often have slightly flattened spheroidal shapes. They typically form by post-depositional mineralization around some nucleus (a rock fragment or fossil fragment).
The Canadian specimen shown here formed by fusion of several smaller concretions - hence the term "aggregate concretion". The rock itself is marlstone, a mix of fine-grained calcareous and clay components ("lime-clay").
Samples from this site are remarkable for their unusual shapes, which promote pareidolia in human observers. Museum signage accompanying this specimen suggests a "girl with a bow in her hair".
Stratigraphy: near-latest Pleistocene (sensu traditio) lake deposit, ~11 ka
Locality: Abitibi area, western Quebec, eastern Canada
Exposed aggregate concrete has almost unlimited possibility to be used basically anywhere on a domestic home. Yard paths and porches are likely the most common outdoor applications, however the variety of appearances, colors, and textures readily available have developed the demand for garage floors, garden wall surfaces and driveways made from this impressive process. Indoors, experienced craftsmans may create stunning floorings, stairways as well as countertops and hearths from exposed aggregate concrete. Liquid Limestone is a famous structure product. It often has small fossils of marine origin, together with clays, of sedimentary origin, which give it incredible colours. This objective can be accomplished by an effective option of ceramic tiles followed by their correct upkeep.

Some time in the next day or two, my Flickr counter will hit 5,000,000 aggregate views. That is a lot! If you are browsing around my site during the next 48 hours or so, you might be #5,000,000 and I wish I could give you a big prize. Unfortunately, I can't afford a big prize, and I have no way of knowing who is the exact 5 milliionth viewer. Flickr doesn't tell me. So this is just for fun and to brag a little bit.

The brief
The clients have lived in a number of properties over the past few years and have always enjoyed working with a garden designer to achieve the garden they desire. They recently had their basement developed in their latest property to include a large family space which is the most utilised space in the house. Their attentions have now turned to the garden. They recently had their boundary wall re-built and have undertaken some ad hoc landscaping, including the installation of granite aggregate and planting, but feel now they would like to overhaul the whole space. The client is quite a keen gardener and enjoys horticultural pursuits in her spare time.
The overhanging mulberry bush from next door causes issues with it berries dropping on the lower terrace and the client would like to consider some solutions for this in the final design.
The solution
The garden has been loosely based on a Japanese style garden with simple lines and repetition. A paved area directly at the top of the terrace allows option for a table and chairs to be placed on it for formal dining. Two pathways lead off from this area. The first leads to a structure in the left of the space, directly beneath the mulberry bush. This will feature a paved area comprising a combination of travertine and granite sets trimmed with stainless steel edging to provide a slick contemporary base. Enclosing this is a timber structure including an integral table and two benches, which will provide further opportunity for al fresco dining. The structure is partially covered with a timber and stainless steel mesh roof to prevent the mulberry bush berries marking the table. Two sides of the structure have alcove shelving to help create the impression of an outdoors room as well as giving a nod towards the Japanese theme. Illuminated globo lights suspended from the roof of the structure add drama and illuminate the space at night. The spheres mark a motif which is repeated elsewhere in the garden.
The second pathway from the main terrace leads down the garden, via a box hedge edged planting bed containing a specimen acer, and then over a sunken water feature pool covered with a walk-over metal grill. Fed at one end by a water blade mounted onto a rendered wall, this provides provides another dramatic element to the space.
The centre of the garden features an offset rectangle of lawn edged in black granite setts, with a trio of sandstone balls, globo lights and box balls at each corner continuing the spherical theme.
The pathway continues diagonally down the garden where the clients existing terracotta statues are positioned across the space as a focal point. A second box edged planting bed featuring a specimen acer marks the dog leg of the pathway to a second patio area at the bottom of the garden. This patio is ideally placed to catch the last of the afternoon sun. Earth Designs suggests a sofa style seating arrangement.
Adjoining this patio is a raised vegetable planter positioned for the clients children to have a go at ‘grow your own’.
Running diagonally across the back of the garden are a series of black Perspex screens to mask the shed and utility area. In front of each highly reflective screen will be a silver birch tree underplanted with woodland plants creates a serene backdrop to the space.
Planting in the space will be leafy and monochrome. Japanese influences will prevail with the focus on leaf form and colour.

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Cnidaria
Class: Anthozoa
Subclass: Hexacorallia (includes stony corals, all sea anemones, tube anemones, and zoanthids)
Order: Actiniaria (sea anemones)
Family: Actiniidae (largest family of sea anemones)
Genus/species: Anthopleura elegantissima
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Most are olive to bright green (depending on the species of algal symbionts present) with tentacles tipped in pink. The oral disk has approximately 100 tentacles in three or four rows around its margins. Those that are deficient in photosynthetically active radiation, such as under docks or in caves, lack symbionts and are pale yellow to white in color.
Disc 2-3 cm (0.78-1.2 in) across, under water.
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Common in tide pools. The body of the anemone is firmly attached to rock substrate and detritus and sand adheres to the column almost covering them.
DIET IN THE WILD: Capture tiny crustaceans and other animals past their tentacles using their stinging nematocysts (also called cnidocytes) on the surface of their tentacles.
REPRODUCTION: To clone themselves, anemones split in half—literally tearing themselves apart (asexual reproduction). Aggregating anemones also reproduce sexually by broadcasting eggs and sperm.
PREDATORS: Their are few known predators but include the nudibranch Aeolidia papillosa, leather star Dermasterias imbricata and mosshead sculpin Clinocottus globiceps.
REMARKS: When one colony of genetically identical polyps encounters a different genetic colony, the two will wage territorial battles. A. elegantissima has specialized tentacles called acrorhagi to deter non identical colonies from encroaching on their space. It extends the acrorhagi to attack the competing anemone with nematocytes leaving behind a 'peel' of the ectoderm and nematocysts that causes tissue necrosis in the receiving animal.
