Compressive Strength: 93 – 130 MPa (Stable structural strength and pressure resistance; suitable for large‑area interior decoration and conventional exterior architectural projects)


Abrasion Resistance: Stable wear and scratch resistance, ideal for luxury indoor flooring, dramatic dark‑toned feature walls, modern‑classic space decoration and high‑end customized stone projects

GANGSAW SUITABILITY


Black Fossil Limestone raw blocks are fully compatible with standard gangsaw processing equipment for mass slab cutting. Standard quarry block dimensions fully adapt to conventional slab specification cutting. The stone features stable internal bioclastic sedimentary structure and uniform density; fossil fragment distribution and natural tone difference bring distinctive natural variation among individual slabs, generating low controllable processing loss and stable finished‑product yield. It is a well‑received dramatic dark fossil‑bearing limestone material for high‑end interior design and large‑scale architectural engineering projects.

Recommended Processing: Gangsaw slabs (1.8 cm & 2 cm), followed by calibration, edge trimming and honed / polished / brushed / tumbled surface treatment


Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 76‑86 slabs per block (based on 1.8 cm thickness)


Polish Result: Uniform deep jet‑black low‑gloss smooth surface with scattered contrasting white marine fossil fragments and faint light‑grey sedimentary striations, presenting dramatic dark‑toned layering, solemn charcoal‑black tone and exclusive dark‑luxury decorative appearance

About

Country and Quarry Origin

Fossil-bearing sedimentary limestone quarries mainly in North Africa & Middle East, intact raw blocks with dark carbonaceous matrix embedded with ancient ammonite fossils.

Texture

Compact fossiliferous sedimentary texture, dense matrix after consolidation, fits polishing, honing & antique finish processing.

Pattern and Veining

Deep black-brown base scattered with distinct spiral ammonite fossil fragments, unique natural fossil veining, low batch color deviation.

Durability

Stable indoor long-term usage performance; outdoor projects need full weatherproof penetrating sealant, ideal for decorative featured projects.

Available Surfaces

Bush Hammered, Brushed, Water Jet

Acid Sensitivity

Poor acid resistance with calcite main phase; acid detergents & acid rain erode matrix and fossil surfaces, avoid acidic environment exposure.
