ynot Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I would say there is a real good chance that it is a concretion. Welcome to TFF! Tony PS It is usually easier to tell what something is if We can see more pictures from different angles. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

oilshale Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yours is really gorgeous - very nice example of a concretion! They can get real huge - some people even think they must be remains of old civilizations. http://fotoswords.blogspot.de/2012/07/moeraki-rocks-mysterious-spherical.html Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

Cevans Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 How do I see what's inside of it. I'm new to all this. Thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crann Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Does it have a ridge at the top ? Looks like a good point to place a chisel to try and open, probably wise to have eye protection on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhw Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sledge hammer! Looks like it's got a crack already and should break down the middle. Never any guarantees with these, though this one does look promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure… my thought is that it could be a boulder of an igneous (mafic?) rock with an onion skin weathering pattern https://www.google.it/search?q=onion+skin+weathering&biw=1280&bih=709&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiYrZe_5LLSAhXIOxQKHcI7AEoQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=_ ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 There are a lot of volcanic rock in that area- so I may have been a little to quick to reply. @supertramp may have the right idea. Can You take some pictures of the insides of it? Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
