Fossil Floor

Calgary International Airport
Badlands and Fossils

Fossil Floor (2002) is comprised of over 100 cast bronze features set into 2 separate terrazzo floors (measuring 100' x 20') at the Calgary International airport. The terrazzo is designed to suggest a topographical map of the Alberta badlands. The bronze inserts depict a multitude of bones and fossils, carefully researched from ancient species and traces located in the geographic region of Alberta. Downstairs on the Arrivals level, more cast bronze tiles depicting fossilized forms are inserted randomly throughout the floor.
