I'm not *even* gonna make any pretense that it is *anything at all* otherwise -- it is literally JUST A ROCK. :-) :-)
(oh, and a blue bird feather that just happened to be laying in the yard, for size reference)
About a foot long at its most and kinda 'hollowed out', I simply found it and picked it up 'out in the country' in rural Springfield, AR in the ditch across the gravel county road from my Sister-in-law's house, when I was digging up a few wildflowers to take home. ;-) Those ditches get re-dug every so-often years, this one had surfaced along with other larger rocks around their mailbox pole and was laying sideways 1/3 full of sandy dirt. It weighs about 9 lbs.
It *could* be an ancient Native American Tribal Relic (there were several of those around here) or it could be an ashtray or it could be a small animal trap or it could be a baking dish -- but the only thing I'm absolutely certain about is that it is a ROCK. ;-) ;-) ;-) Sandstone probably, I think the geologists call that a "sedimentary" variety IIRC from my rock collecting years ago...? (and it indeed shows the various layers around its edges for that!)
BUT --
it IS a COOL ROCK, isn't it??
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
nice piece of sandstone! that blue feather is pretty cool too!
My gracious THANKS to Cisum, Racer4rour, fortapache, ho2culcha, Watchsearcher, vetraio50, aura, & vintagelamp for tapping your <love it> buttons for my rock! I do like "fun rocks" just for the sake of them and pick them up everywhere if they catch my fancy -- pretty colors or patterns, odd shapes, sparkly bits, baseball sized ones that came thru my boss' windshield on the freeway one day a decade ago putting a large hole in his passenger seat back (where thankfully *I* wasn't riding that day and oh wait, that one's a little different I guess...his face was still slightly ashen roughly half an hour later when he got back to the shop... <eeek>)
ALSO, I should have pointed out that I took the pics in evening sun, so shadows account for some of the darker looking spots in pic 1 & 2 especially.
