Travertine is an earlier form of marble. It takes thousands of years for travertine to turn into marble. Being said that they are almost the same, we should distinguish them in the ways they are different:
-Travertine is porous, marble is dense, which makes travertine an ideal product for outdoors such as pool decks and patios and marble ideal for indoors.
Here are some samples of travertine pavers and marble tiles:
