Sandstone
Orientalizing-Archaic period, ca. 4th quarter 7th c. BCE
Found at Vetulonia (see on Pleiades), Poggio alle Birbe necropolis, in 1894, by Isidoro Falchi
The deceased, Aule or Auvele Feluske, is represented outfitted as a warrior, as a hoplite, with a round aspis shield, wearing a Corinthian-type helmet and holding a double ax, this last rather a symbol of power, not being the typical armament of the hoplite. An Etruscan inscription runs around the edges of the stele. The man's nomenclature, both praenomen and gentilicium, has been linked with a Faliscan origin.
Etruscan text (Meiser, ET Vn 1.1):
[mi a]uvileś feluskeś tuśnutal[a pa/]panalaś mini mul/uvaneke hirumi[n]a ɸersnalnaś

Sandstone formation in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The rounded features near the bottom are interesting to me. In other areas of North Dakota you can find some that are almost perfect speres but I've only seen them as yard ornaments. I wondered what they might look like in a natural setting.
Thick wire is bound tightly around the base to help stabilize the stones but what will really hold them in place is four to six inches of soil on one side and filled inside. Under the blue tarp is the rest of the soil waiting to be mixed with sand and compost and filled into the new bed.

The Cedar Mesa Sandstone was formed by wind-blown sand accumulating in dunes during the Permian Period some 250 million years ago. The cross bedding, so apparent in this outcrop, is diagnostic of aeolian deposition.
