Why are these black


Jasel

Recommended Posts

I have numerous size rocks that are pure black, that I found this past weekend. Since I found them when the creek was low and they were grouped together I thought I found something!IMG_1868.thumb.JPG.edb2370d4948154d3df5963eeaa3608f.JPG

If the rock isn't actually naturally black, but it's just a coating, it could be iron oxide from the river water.

Or from a layer that eroded into the river if you say the other rocks in the area are not like this.

It's just weird cause they're grouped together in a 10 ft part of creek that is now low enough it  exposed these rocks..

thank u both for answers!

Well, even though you might have found something, we would need better photos in order to judge. This one is way too out of focus.

The grouping may be the result of sorting by the creek's flow. Their size, shape, and density being a perfect fit to this particular pocket.

You may need to make them more than one post if they are over the size limit.

It still wouldn't let me upload & saying it failed cause it was bigger then 3.95 mb...

and all pics are 1.5 for each one.

so I opened a Photobucket account and I'm just goons take pics with digital camera today and just post a link....that way you can see all the pics

Try refreshing the page. This may help You to upload the pictures here.

That wasn't working and using computer didn't work either. I'll just post the link to the Photobucket account I made for only these pictures....that's probably easiest way for everyone to see pics right now.

Thank you all for help! 

Will try to post as soon as I can this evening!
