9:48 am
a natural raw material with many useful applications and you need treatment for example. lukins chalk cliffs were created 68000000 years ago in southern europe through the shifting of tectonic plates the chalk deposits were pushed to the north during playful periods they were thrust to the surface the chalk is made from the remains of tiny marine organisms. just for the last line. is especially pure because no other sediments were dragged into this basin with it. and there are those for the last 150 meters or truck sediment sitting here on the surface. and some of them are up to 160 meters above sea level but the militia and there's only one place in germany where they exist and that's here on the island of kruger does a sea of that it's always. been even has a museum devoted to chalk it's been mined here for almost 200 years chalk is used
9:49 am
as fertilizer in paint and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. to process the chalk it's soaked in water separated from undesired components and dried what used to take 8 weeks now takes about 8 minutes. for medicinal chalk only especially fine material is used after it's been additionally cleaned what remains as the museum informs visitors are mainly residues a planktonic form enough era these single celled animals had skeletons made of small calcite platelets when the organisms died they sank to the seabed and form the chalk sediment. physiotherapist york snyder from sas nets has been using hogans medicinal chalk since the early 1990 s. this natural product dissolved in water is said to stimulate the heart and
