New Members 184uRocks Posted April 30 New Members Share Posted April 30 I found this in Missouri (McDonald County) on some friends property recently. They got a big rain a few days ago, so, we went out looking for rocks. I've never seen anything like it before, however, I am not really knowledgeable about this area. There are a few caves in McDonald County, but, there are no caves (as far as I know) on my friends property. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 fun rock. Certainly not a stalagmite (or tite). Cave deposits are made of limestone, which this is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The "bottom" of it looks like part of a concretion, to me. Looks like ironstone. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

jpc Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I was thinking the bottom (and maybe the top) look like stromatolites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth looking into, at least. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
