!!!Adneter Kalk

Adnet Limestone, often wrongly called "Adnet marble", stone formation 
of the northern lime Alps, very rich in fossils (including Ammonites), 
formed around 200m years ago in the early Jurassic period, named after 
Adnet (province of Salzburg), has been extracted from several quarries 
since the Middle Ages and has been used as decorative stone in 
numerous secular and non-secular buildings, esp. in the town of 
Salzburg.
