The sequence records life in a tropical lagoon environment, sheltered and partially separated from the open sea by an offshore reef . Diverse marine life flourished within this lagoon, including reptiles, fish, bivalves, ammonites, echinoderms and crustaceans . Because the lagoon was near land, the remains also include land - based fossils of reptiles, insects and plants, resulting in an extremely rich source of fossils . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Old City of Berne </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> Switzerland Bern, Switzerland 46 ° 56 ′ 53.016" N 7 ° 27 ′ 1.008" E ﻿ / ﻿ 46.94806000 ° N 7.45028000 ° E ﻿ / 46.94806000; 7.45028000 ﻿ (Old City of Bern) </Td> <Td> Cultural: SwiCanBer (iii) </Td> <Td> 7008846840000000000 ♠ 84,684 (209,260) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Founded in the 12th century on a hill site surrounded by the Aare River, Bern developed along the peninsula .

They were built over a period of a half - century, in the course of what Le Corbusier described as "patient research". The Complexe du Capitole in Chandigarh (India), the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo (Japan), the House of Dr Curutchet in La Plata (Argentina) and the Unité d'habitation in Marseille (France) reflect the solutions that the Modern Movement sought to apply during the 20thcentury to the challenges of inventing new architectural techniques to respond to the needs of society .
