This picture I took was in a Hotel in CO.

It was actually used in the flooring in the Ladies Restroom ... You just never know where you will find such!!

I loved it.

Looks similar to  "Treuchtlinger Marmor" (marble) which is quite popular in Germany. Treuchtlinger marble is mined in large quantities for wall and floor coverings, window sills and so on.

Nice! I’ve been trying to convince my wife we need fossiliferous stone for counter tops. It’s not going so well for me... lol 

 

@Tidgy's Dad posted some neat architecture fossils from one of his excursions in Morocco a while back. 
 

Here is a link to his thread if you would like to check it out.
