From such sand-breaks, the sand was formerly obtained in artificial caves for the farmers' parlors

In the past, sweeping sand was partly made from such sand quarries. Obtained in artificial caves for the farmhouse parlors. This loose "parlor sand" gave its name to the entire geological epoch, which dates back around 185 million years. The outcrop shows the typical "zebra stratification" of the deposited sands.
