gobbler716 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Found this rock a week ago. It just looked interesting. After seeing similar pieces in my copy of Alabama Rocks, it seems to have "mud lumps" attached. What do you think?
Fossildude19 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 The "Mud Lumps" I googled and came up with, are small islands, possibly created by gas and ooze rising to the earth's surface, usually in river mouths or deltas.Your picture does not look like that. What I see in your picture is a dark colored matrix adhering to a lighter colored matrix, which is not that unusual. Different layers of rock sometimes are made up of different sediments, hence the color differences. So, I am not quite sure what exactly you are asking? Can you post the pictures of "similar pieces" from your book?
