My dad sent me a link to this video. Can anyone provide any information about what kind of rock this is, or how it may have formed? The narrator says it was found while putting in a pipeline.
Incidentally, my parents are originally from Cadiz (rhymes with Gladys- it is not pronounced ka-DIZ). I assume a friend or relative sent him the link. Any help would be appreciated.
You’re right, it does look like a geode. I think they could’ve checked the inside without cutting out such a large section, though. Maybe by drilling a hole in it? I’m not entirely convinced it’s a cut, either- looks like it could be a fracture to me.
It could also be some sort of concretion, which would make more sense with the local limestones and such. A couple of photos showing the actual texture of the thing would have been a lot more useful than a shaky video.
ETA: Here’s another big round glacial erratic from Ohio, soon to be a plinth: Boulder History
Thanks for those links; interesting stuff. I went back and read the description below the video (I know, I should have done that in the first place). Here’s what it says:
