Guest mstif187 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Found in NewAlbany IN along the river. I believe it may be called a holey stone any help at all would be great.,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Your stone is a weathered piece of sea floor sediment; the "cheerios" are disarticulated sections of crinoid ("sea lily") stems. There is no telling how the hole came to be.

sward Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Welcome to the forum from TX. Nice find for just starting out. What's the object on the right in the second picture? It looks interesting. From what I can tell, it almost looks like one of the faces carved in stone at Easter Island. When I click on the pic, it's too small to be able to tell much about it.

sward Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm not exactly sure what it is I found it about the same time. Can you post a larger pic? I'm sure someone will be able to identify it.

Herb Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Welcome from Louisville! The stone looks like weathered Silurian crinoidal limestone found often along the river.

Herb Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 there are a lot of fracture cracks in the bedrock in the Falls of the Ohio area, so my best guess would be a water worn cobble with a bedding plane in the front and fracture cracks across the top.
