peer agreement (net): +1| travertino fasolato seashell travertine Explanation: Explanation by an architect (me): Some types of travertine stone contain fossolised mollusc shells. You can obtain this stone in the form of slabs for use as paving, worktops, etc. It's a luxury material. "....minuscoli invertebrati terrestri o molluschi d’acqua dolce – restituiti a noi in forma “latente” dopo il distacco dalla roccia o il taglio meccanico di fabbrica." "I fasolari sono molluschi, pescati nell'Alto Adriatico, da consumare crudi o cotti" https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/travertine-with-shellfish-calcareous-sedimentary-rock-news-photo/170915846 https://blackmancruz.com/products/deliquescent-table |
