ChrisSarahRox Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Odd sandstone found while out checking fences on western boundary of my property in Grant County NM. Any input is welcomed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yes, I completely agree that this is an odd sandstone. Amazing what interesting shapes nature with a bit of weathering and erosion can come up with. I think that the patina is something mineralogical. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Fossildude19 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I wouldn't throw that one at anyone or anything. It might hurt. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JohnJ Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Sandstone formed near the contact zones with other formations can be altered by the interaction of chemicals and minerals from those formations. Changes in color and hardness are not unusual. Strange shapes often result from differential weathering that exposes these differences. 5 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
