~120k: sur la route de Graufthal

Subtitle: Noah's Ark (here seen fossilized) was a catamaran and landed in Alsace.

For the more prosaic among us, it's a chunk of the same raised beach as Dabo Rock. Around 285 million years ago this area was a delta on the Germanic Sea, and a river flowed west to east into it. All this sandstone started life in Paris, 500k away.
