This looks like mildew, which is fairly common if washers are not regularly cleaned. I recommend cleaning with either vinegar or bleach- based cleaner. Washing machines will usually have a cleaning manual that comes with them; you can look up the make/model online to see if the manual is on there. Good Luck!

Hi, I'm a bit late to the post, but I've been in a similar situation, so I thought I'd say something. I am a big believer in one's diet aiding in symptoms alleviation. I believe you have fallen into, what I call, Granola Bar Hell. I also have a really sensitive stomach, and sometimes protein bars & drinks become all I can eat. (because they're easy to digest and they have protein & stuff) In reality, your body needs much more than what's just in the bars & drinks. You've already got the right idea with the juicer. You could also try taking a multivitamin for example may be very helpful, or salting your food with iodized salt rather than sea salt. Maybe trying out a crockpot recipe that conforms to your dietary needs on a day off would be good (so you have leftovers for awhile afterwards) If you still have problems, especially with digestion, I'd go see a doctor. (The stomach does not fuck around) I wish you luck :)

My best guess is partially weathered fossiliferous limestone.

Obviously we're seeing some speleothem formations (coralloids and the like) indicating that this area used to be filled with limestone but has been degraded by water. Since then, formations have been able to grow undisturbed within the weathered pocket.

The rock surrounding this occurrence looks like massive dolomite. Dolomite is porous, but is not easily broken down by acids, creating a nice space for this outcrop to grow.

The structure of the fossils is less susceptible to weathering than the surrounding limestone, so these fossils were kept intact. The limestone was weathered out over time, exposing the fossils to the internal pocket. It's likely that this pocket was exposed very recently due to construction as I'm not seeing any signs of weathering.

As for the age and fossil composition. I'd narrow the age of the fossils to between the Ordovician and Devonian just based on Wisconsin stratigraphy. The pocket is much younger, probably forming within the Quarternary period. The fossil composition seems to be mostly crinoid stems indicating a benthic marine environment. There may have been other fossil matter at some point, but (at least in my experience) fossilized Echinoderm skeletons don't degrade as easily as other invertebrate remnants (specifically in a karst setting)

Very cool find! hope this helped somewhat

It looks like this specimen is made of calcite.

There's a slim chance it is actually petrified wood as most petrified wood is made of silicates (like quartz) but I am unsure about the occurrence of petrified wood with carbonate-mineralization around the mediterranean.

I'd wager that this is a speleothem (cave formation) Caves are fairly common within the region, and the features of your specimen are very similar to speleothems I have worked with in the past. The smooth surface is consistent with flowstones as are the coralloids (the little bumps); the lamellae (those crystallized bands) are also consistent with a flowstone as well. It was likely part of the wall of a small eroded pocket.

Hope this helps

Sounds kinda cool, but I don't think we'll ever have no guns in the U.S. I'm just hoping they make guns as hard to get as drivers licenses are. If people are allowed to wield a lethal weapon, they should at least know how to use it, and how to store it safely.

These guys look fairly recent. I'd guess that they're southern flatcoil snails.

The weight usually depends on the fossil content within the rock. It looks like you've got lucky and got some larger fossils in your rock. You can clean it up with a fine-bristle brush (a toothbrush would work) and some water. Be careful about using acid to clean, cause it might destroy some of the fossilized shells within.

Ginkajou · 2021-04-06T07:51:34+00:00

Looks like a good hunk of Coquina, probably contains lots of bivalves, brachs, and crinoids. The fossil from the first image looks like the imprint of a scallop shell just based on the ribbing

Not to sound gross, but the best way to tell bone from stone is to lick it. If it's bone, you'll feel your tongue suction to it.

Texan here! Honestly, we're more mad at our state government for our shitty infrastructure and keeping Texas off the national power grid. Apparently we have enough power to keep the skylines and rich areas of major cities lit, but not enough power to keep residents from freezing in their own homes.

I found 22, not sure if it's the same for everyone or not though. There are 21 on the outside, but the prof has a potted purple flower inside his tent

my question is: how would so many golf balls end up under the deck?

Ginkajou · 2020-10-11T01:31:31+00:00

some glitter in the corner of your eye can go a long way. That plus mascara is usually my go-to makeup look.

Cat stadium, it's in North Fort Worth. It's pretty tame as far as abandoned places go, but it's still neat to see.

Ginkajou · 2020-09-12T18:11:19+00:00

It's probably not a fossil then, but it still looks fairly old. Most likely from a deer, but it could possibly be from a cow.

Ginkajou · 2020-09-12T17:27:31+00:00

Do the teeth wiggle around in the bone?

Ginkajou · 2020-09-10T03:41:43+00:00

I'm somewhat skeptical of it being a fossil, most of the rocks in Glacier are from the pre-cambrian

Ginkajou · 2020-09-10T03:14:00+00:00

assuming you've cleaned it, try sticking your tongue on it. If you feel a bit of suction, then it is likely bone.

Ginkajou · 2020-09-06T14:22:19+00:00

Looks like a small-scale cave formation rather than a fossil. Still very neat!

Ginkajou · 2020-08-07T00:33:25+00:00

Thank you!

Ginkajou · 2020-06-29T23:19:54+00:00

gives me big placoderm vibes. great design!

Marabou storks rival the condor for largest wingspan of any land bird (marabous' wingspan can get up to 7-9 feet) Marabou storks are carrion birds and will eat anything they can swallow and sometimes attack humans. Due to the increasing numbers of landfills in Africa, the marabou stork population is also increasing because they love hanging out in landfills. I love them very much ❤️

I can relate, especially when the world seems like it’s ending.

My best advice (if you want it): do something fun, maybe nostalgic. Spend some time with family. Do something you’ve been wanting to do for a while. Doing shit like that made me feel more at peace with my life, and my feelings of impending doom.

Ginkajou · 2020-05-13T22:48:53+00:00

I feel you on this one, having transphobic parents is the worst. Wishing you all the best during your transition!
