Anybody ever seen anything like this? I dunno where Ms Rockhound even got this but the way it's formed looks unusual to me. It's pretty heavy too. Feels solid. Any thoughts? Should I get out the big hammer and whack it?

On second thought , DON"T whack it. If the wife has some plan that includes that rock, you, Humpty Dumpty and that rock, just might have a lot in common.

I have a bunch of these collected from a creek in NW Oregon.............Some of mine even have several layers. I have been told its just basically erosion that causes the peeling effect, especially when they come from a creekbed (wet in the winter, drying out in the summer).

Shannon Hey, that's where she got it. I just asked her. she picked it up in the creek that runs by the campsite at Woodward Ranch. hmmmmm...............interesting. What to do, what to do.............

no dino poo either. Every piece I've ever had was completely silicified, and no structure to it. It's probably some sort of concretion.

Okay, you got me! I confess, I did force a bunch of rocks to eat some smaller rocks, and then I spread them out along a creek by Woodward Ranch. Erosion does cause rocks like that when you have a harder rock formation inside a somewhat softer matrix. The softer matrix wears away leaving the nodules of the slightly harder material. Not likely there's anything good inside. If there was, the erosion would normally have been more complete and shown at least some of the good rock. bd
