Creatures in the rock

Post by pcg » April 19th, 2017, 8:37 am

Here's some I've found in eastern Oregon. Who else has found creatures in the rock?

Those pictures aren't from Smith?? Looks just like welded tuff, didn't think it was elsewhere...

Nope, much farther east. ;) I'm not a geologist, but I'm guessing a lot of it is welded tuff as it looks and feels like the rock at Smith. And some is just plain sandstone I'm guessing. These are from different areas.

Dunno about "creatures," but the basalt at Lava Canyon is full of faces...
