SCSeaGal15 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) This "rock" was interesting to me because of it's smoothed angles & interesting horizonal lines on inside. Feels polished with so many angles. About 1 11/16 long by 1.5" by 1/2" at thickest point. Found in mountains of East Tennessee. Color is actually more brown than photos, not black. Please see all pics for angles. Any info appreciated! Edited April 19, 2021 by SCSeaGal15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Sorry, this looks like a piece of rock, possibly basalt, to me. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

SCSeaGal15 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hey no need to be sorry! Basalt did come up in my search. I just want to know. Curious! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCSeaGal15 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 It was the smooth angles and lines inside of rock that tipped my curiosity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 google "slickenside". Could be a piece of crushed product rock with a preserved one of those from original position in the strata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCSeaGal15 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 I will check out slickenside. Thank you.. Per another comment, I looked at basalt but most of it seems to be gray or charcoal/ black. This piece, though these pictures are deceiving, is actually more brown/taupe. Thanks for your time!
