Found this morning after a small rockfall. The old mountain road was modified about 10 years ago by cutting through what is predominately a limestone outcrop of triassic age which links the sandstone basin below and the much older Sierra de Gador mountain range above. Travelling up to our home there were signs of a small fall. I pulled over and scooped up a bagfull of small rocks. This was the only interesting piece.

Looks like concrete with rock clasts formed against some sort of ribbed metal rods. Note the cracks and gaps where the concrete did not fill up all the space when molded against the metal rods.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
