There’s a lot written and said about Moscow subway. There are many books and articles about its history and architecture. But the subway is also a paleontological museum. Ammonites, nautiluses, corals, sea lilies lived in seas many millions years ago and now you can see inhabitants of ancient seas on the subway’s walls and columns coated with marble and limestone and you don’t need a loupe to see some of the creatures.
Where To Find
You can find the remains on the walls and floor of the stations coated with a natural stone. Most of these stations are on the “red”, “blue” and “brown” (the loop) branches. New stations were started to be coated with a natural stone too, for example Park Pobedy (Park of the Victory). Most likely, you can find the remains in the red, brown and yellow marble and hardly in the white one.
Here are some photos
