Indiana limestone formed 340 million years ago:

- Shallow tropical sea covered Indiana
- Marine organisms accumulated
- Millions of years of compaction
- Result: 30x10 mile quarry belt
- 200 years of continuous production

Geology explains performance.

1907: Built a limestone bank in Bedford, Indiana
1926: Gas explosion levels the building next door
2025: Bank still standing — zero cracks, 118 years later

This is what real durability looks like.
