Mystery Photo 6-24-15

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?

So does anyone know why rocks look like this? DSCN0044

    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……
