New Members aussie bush girl Posted August 9 New Members Share Posted August 9 This is smooth to touch and obviously part of this rock- Found in creek bed, Near Oberon, NSW Australia. High altitude area known for gold, copper and corundum. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Just a suggestively shaped mineral inclusion. The presence of gold and copper likely suggests the rock is not sedimentary, and too old for fossils. 1 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members aussie bush girl Posted August 10 Author New Members Share Posted August 10 One more thing, if that's ok? I have tried to look up the image of this rock online, and have come up with many different names, all ending in 'ite'. So I'm in the dark. Anyone have an idea what this rock is? Looks like some quartz in there, very consistent with the area- but then I'm stuck. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 The rock is more than likely from the Oberon Granite formation, therefore some type of porphyritic granite. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
