Hey y’all, just like to say hi I’ve come here to get some help identifying my finds I used to love rock hunting I would scour the driveway for fools gold A.k.a. pyrite Obviously When I was about 12 we got to build our dream home but as punishment I would have to pick up rocks as the land was Previously a cornfield So I’ve come along way with my rock route therapy! And I am very proud of her ex-husband luscious green grass lol I hope to laugh and learn a lot good ways to Identify rocks preserve them also I am looking foward for to meeting a as many mentors and friends as I can along the way ! The "Rocky Road " that brought me her has not only help me to reconnect with nature get out of the phone and just ground myself unfortunately my ice cream melted and now my feet are stuck on new Discoveries I'm young and eager to learn from y'all and someday pass my knowledge along as you can see if have quiet a since of humor and a on going tumultuous relationship with rocks So I figured might as well embrace. Its the adventure for me not the destination you may also notice my lack of punctuation so Sprinkle these in where you see fit .,.,.,.,.,,.,,;:.,,:;..,;..,....,,.,..,,.....,,......,..,.,,;..:........:) Happy Hunting !

This is a large rock formation I found in forested area near my cabin in Perry County Indiana about 15 miles from the Ohio River. It has what seems like steel plates on the surface of some of the rock formation, which measures about 10 feet by 7 feet and about 3 to 4 feet high. There is a white-ish crystalized substance on the surface of some of the plates which seems very hard, not lichen-like or easily scratched off the surface. It seemed unusual to me, so I cleaned it off and dug it out a bit to reveal more of the surface. Hoping someone might have an idea what this is. I am a new member and very inexperienced in fossil and geology identification. Thanks for any input.
