Bird's Nest Fireplace

The fireplace in the Bird's Nest Lodge is primarily comprised of horizontally layered sandstone. Sandstone, as with most sedimentary rocks, is formed when eroded bits of older rocks are deposited and then naturally cemented into a cohesive rock. This fossil nautilus is 500 million years old. It lived before fish evolved and was the largest predator in the ocean.
