G'day all
They say this is the place to ask silly questions so can any one
tell us what we've found. Thanks

G-day redbelly, I think you have found a Conglomerate of some sort.... On a host rock of Basalt?......

 Gemster....

Thanks Gemster
Would slicing it in half show much up

I think what you have on the outside is probably the same inside.

Redbelly,


You might just put the specimen on the kitchen shelf as a nice reminder of the amazing processes of geological formation. How many hundreds of thousands of years passed before that basalt base lot got overlaid with conglomerate and how many more hundreds of thousands of years passed before that conglomerate got overlaid with sufficient pressure to basically make it a solid conglomerate.

Agreed and a waste of time and effort to cut it. Better luck next time.
