The grey/green stone on the top of your picture looks like marble. Marble is a metamorphic limestone, which means that recrystallization occurred, which means that you should not have fossils in it as much as in sedimentary limestones.

So maybe it's not a fossil but a trace of the excavation process? Is the stone as smooth as elsewhere in this area?

That being said, some very old limestone can be denser than marble without being recrystallized. I just don't know of any that aren't grey or beige.

    I'm overloading both of my braincells trying to figure out what I'm even looking at

    It's a common or garden variety windowsill, related to many different types of windowsills you might see around your neighborhood most times of the year.

    Not only in my own neighborhood! My elementary school was in a building almost completely made out of marble. It's a really old building. The staircases were RIDDLED with fossils. :)

    No idea what specie has taught you to photo, but I don't have the slightest idea what I am looking at.

    My dibs would be on MTB (birota montium) on the left and its road sibling (birota viae) on the right :)

    I knew it! Now, it’s finally confirmed, that these awesome means of transportation originated in the very primordial elements - hydrogen, helium and lithium - that turned into the cozy universe-chan that we know and love today. Thanks for enlightening me! :)
