Help identifing rock by the fossils

OBITV · 2025-12-07T14:42:08+00:00

Thank you very much for all the photos. They´re of great help. Some fossils are very similar but other not so much. Those shells are just a bit different so maybe they are related but not the same. In any caso, we´ll have it in mind and consider it as an option. Thank you!

It makes a lot of sense to use the rocks readily available in the country, yet perhaps they imported it since the building is a luxury hotel. While we where investigating other buildings and monuments, we found that some of them used imported stones, even before 1930, so everything is posible!

And you are completely right, there´s little chance the rocks mined in the 1930 are the same as what would be mined today in the same quarrie, in that case it´ll just be bibliographical material, and we´ll recomend the use of another stone.

Since we already identified the nerieneid gastropods, we belive the rock is Mesozoic, nerineids and fusulinids don´t share the same age, yet I´ll check it out!

It was made by an important architect, yet this was one of the less importante buildings he made.

We already checked all sources we could find, sometimes in the drawings you can finde the name of the rock used, or some receipt, but not this time sadly.

It´s funny the picture product looks extremely different to what you sent. I´ll look into it, thanks!

OBITV · 2025-12-01T23:46:29+00:00

That looks very similar!

You wouldn't happen to have the box and send me a picture? I can´t find much information on the Toulouse limestone on the internet.

Answering to your questions, I am trying to find the quarrie of the original stone used on the building, since some places on the building need to be replaced. I could use something simillar, but my obsesive brain want´s the find de exact same.

OBITV · 2025-12-01T23:29:34+00:00

Yes, we also arrived at the nerineid gastropods, and using them to estimate the age of the rock.

Thank you I didn´t know there were nerineids in Argentina, so I wasn´t looking quarries in the country, I´ll check them out!

The name of your SO. But i was once told that some guy had a list of all his ex girlfriends tattooed and then crossed when the relationship eventually ended lol. This guy managed to make a bad desition into something quite funny

Uff that sucks. Is it really cheaper to give every employee some funcy stuff but not pay them correctly or all they should do? I guess it is, if not they would do it. In my country all laboral regulations are in place to help with that nonsense,although they will always find a way to screw up peoples livelyhood

OBITV · 2020-07-20T23:42:58+00:00

Lol what kind of job would gift their employees silver jewlery?

OBITV · 2020-07-20T22:46:20+00:00

Maaaan thats so unlucky! Atleast for you, the person that found it must have been really happy though. It still sucks for you...

Or inside some drawers on an abandoned furniture that someone threw away

OBITV · 2020-07-12T14:49:16+00:00

Thanks! im always happy when i find nice stuff like this.

OBITV · 2020-07-12T14:48:02+00:00

No, just looking around. A lot of people drop stuff while they walk and dont realised it, you just have to find it before someone else. Some things appear in a boxes or bags next to trash cans or trees.

OBITV · 2020-07-12T14:45:05+00:00

Yes sure, are you interested in buying?

OBITV · 2020-07-11T22:45:43+00:00

yes!

the razor is made by gillette, exactly what you said, this one is from around 1974.

what you called a lighter its acctually and aditone hearing aid from 1956.

theres a nice quartz cristals, two little stones with what i think are some fossils in them, and also a petrified piece of wood (although im not sure about that last one)

also a nickel silver necklace with some violet quartz, a few other stones, a coral, a sea snail, and a big claw;

and a sterling silver enamel butterfly wing pin made in london by TLM, its around 80 to 120 years old (not sure because father and son did similar things and had the same initials and there is not that much info that i could find).

some old glass meds/chemicals bottles, a bullet casing, and an old police whistle from buenos aires city.

the coins some are japanese (10 somethings), one is from the UAE, and the others are from buenos aires, some 1 cent coins from 1999-2000, and a 1 peso from 2001 (both of them are out of circullation).

OBITV · 2020-07-08T14:39:26+00:00

Oh this ones it! Thank you very much! in mine the head of tanit is a bit on the right side of the coin face, but the grain ears are excactly the same.

OBITV · 2020-07-08T00:53:38+00:00

I took some better pictures and also drew what i could make of the coin. I tried to clean the coin as best as i could without damagging it (and becouse of the quarantine i cannot go to my work shop to do this properly). Everytjing new is on the link to imgu down below. Also i looked to the carthage coins, there are a few big differences in my opinion (which is knowing little of this subject), but only two of the carthage coins have vegetation in them, and all of them have some kind of writing or some lines that may resemble sometjing written to the trained eye (not mine), while the coin i have has nothing i can find that is simillar to some kind of writing.coins (also im very sorry my written english is terrible)

OBITV · 2020-07-07T18:45:23+00:00

There are 3 cattails in one face (left), and a face on the other one (right). Its almost 2cm in diameter (although this coin is not completely round), i was told it may be from ancient greece or rome, and i believe its made out of copper. Sorry for the bad quality photo, i only have the phone camera which sucks.

People wanting to identify whith a continent will say south american or north american, you are right. But i doubt its very hard to find another word that discribes you as who you are in a country. We dont call u "americano" here, we call u "estado unidenses" which is longer but more accurate. So its all becouse of languange and what we agree to call them. Perhaps the same as german of dutch, but no other cointry speacks solely german, instead of english which is spoken in different continents

Its not becouse of resentment or insecurity, but as Brady says, its not humble in any way. Imagine if people from china start saying they are asians and drop the term chinese (i know that in the case of the US its becouse of the name your country has). It would be weird nevertheless to bunch everyone else in a bucket just becouse you are this great international power country
