Does anyone recognise this stone?

[Pebbs]

I had a sample of this sent over to me for identification. Has anyone got any ideas of what it is...limestone yes..but what type?

Thanks

Looks like a piece of the columns at the Parthenon in Athens - the site of the Acroplolis - so could it be some of the Elgin Marbes from the British Museum!:lol:
Pentelic Marble perhaps!

Rob Z would be the man to ask, he's a geologist too

Hi Pebbs have a look at the link, I think it looks like the classic shell limestone.
