STONE FLOOR SLAB

Stone floor slab. A well-squared dark grey block. Visible side smoothed; rough-hewn bottom. A triangular male floor element protrudes from one of the sides.

The slab does not present evident traces of biological degradation, except for its vertical surfaces where whitish fouling elements can be observed. These were caused by a superficial (epilithic) colonisation due to encrusting red algae (Corallinaceae).
