Rockwood Posted Tuesday at 08:51 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:51 AM I suspect you have found evidence of an earthquake that fractured the rock at some time in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Andreas68 Posted Tuesday at 08:58 AM Author New Members Share Posted Tuesday at 08:58 AM So It could be the testimony of a disaster?! 😀 I wa struck by the strange shape that appears as of drawn on the surface: It reminds me a Plant or the tail of a fish… Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Cole Posted Tuesday at 11:59 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:59 AM This rock has very interesting coloration, so I can see what drew you to it. But it appears that darker colored minerals have stained the rock to create this appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted Tuesday at 02:15 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:15 PM I agree with Tim, mineral stain. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Rockwood Posted Tuesday at 03:00 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:00 PM I don't doubt that mineral staining is involved. My thought is that the rock itself looks as if it had been fractured in a way that influenced the pattern in the staining. Things just don't line up right.
