Stopped and took a couple photos of "Rock City" near Minneapolis KS today, thought you guys who are always breaking rocks up might like seeing these photos.

Man, I got a flathead screwdriver that I have split many a rock with, and I bet I could take one down with it

Those are really cool looking. There is a similar pile of rocks in Glen Rose, Texas, at (here it comes.....) "Big Rocks Park".

I know that park well in Glenn Rose. That little stream is a nice place to cool off in the summer time.

Yes MikeD, Batman had to take out a specialized batman sledge hammer and special batman chisle out of his batman utility belt to get this critter in this concretion! All Robin could say was, "Holy Kingsize ammo batman, your the best"!!! Ha!!! The thing is, its my youngest son who is this batman.

the cool thing is, i think i might actually be starting to understand how/why those things form like that. it's sort of a fuzzy, nebulous understanding though, like a concept is forming but it's vaporous and amorphous. and of course anaerobic and sulphurous and ferrous and all that kinda weird stuff. and a bunch of electrons playing musical chairs...

but i'm still mad that you have that unbelievably cool ammo meganodule and i didn't get to scream when it popped open and revealed the whorly motherlode of shimmerescency goodness. and to think, not that long ago i thought ammolite meant you were shooting something less than .50 caliber...
