Imagine this was like an old Aztec hunting ground and they unknowingly build a mall on some old historical siteðŸ˜

I had a 4000 sq ft of Travertine in a house I built in 2004. My kids and I had a little map of the floor fossils, I loved it. Incidentally, my dogs had a mental map of the salt deposits in the floor that they would go around taking turns constantly licking certain spots.

It’s pretty common in low quality marble floor. (It was my job, to do floors like this)

I hope I die somewhere where I can get fossilized and one day some sentient animal millions of years from now makes a floor with my cool bones laid out in a funny position.

My roommate was just saying yesterday how he liked the floor at our local mall because sometimes you can see fossils.
So weird that it came up again today.

This reminds me of the guy who found a human jaw in his floor, said he was getting it studied, and then never posted about it again

The Orlando airport has floors like this too. Pretty cool.
Reminds me of that time someone was redoing their kitchen and found an ancient human jawbone in a tile.
Edit: Found it.

Not quite the same but I once lived in a 120 year old apartment building that had dog paw prints on some of the outside bricks.
