OK kids here is this weeks Mystery Photo but I’d like to do something a little different this week.
What I’d like to do is to see if anyone knows the details of the picture. After I found a couple of rocks like this while we were picking rock in the field, I was wondering if anyone knew why they would have such perfect holes in them?
differential weathering. erosion, softer rocks wear away and leave hard rocks behind.
Elaine, that’s exactly what I read on Google. Are these rocks called ‘dreamstones’? Very interesting that nature does this! Pretty cool.
I think dreamstones, are after factory, kitchen counter tops,such.
That is from a rock drill. The drill is used to bore a hole into a large rock then explosives are pushed in the hole and set off. A common site in the hard rock mines in the gold country of California. I have seen them in the Death Valley area mines too.
IF DRILLED OUT, AND PUT EXPLOSIVES IN THE HOLE, BONNIE WOULD
NOT HAVE ANY TO PICK UP……
