	Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Polarized Light Microscopy Gallery - Coquina
		Coquina is a rare type of rock, few deposits of the limestone having been identified around the world.
		Thus, fittingly, coquina is a Spanish term that derives from the word cockle, which is believed to be a diminutive of form of concha, meaning "shell." Many buildings constructed during the Spanish occupation of Florida stand to this day, acting as a testament to the durability of the rock.
		Furthermore, the Castillo de San Marcos, which the Spaniards began constructing in 1672 and which is considered the largest coquina structure on Earth, is so strong that it was never taken by military force.

		Coquina also maintained that the ALJ erred in relying on the fact that Resident 1 was found on the floor of his room on the day prior to his death in determining that the risk of serious harm from use of the Quorum alarm device was foreseeable.

		Coquina further argued, however, that the interim measures it employed to protect residents from accidents until it began using a new type of alarm device were sufficient to correct the deficiency or at least abate the immediate jeopardy.
