Cool Rocks

• Rock appears to be silica sand with rocks stuck to the surface, the rocks on the surface are stuck on better then crazy glued and would probably break before coming off. The silica sand or rock that makes the base is uniform in color through out with no other colored veins, the color is yellowish similar to fine silica. The triangular shaped rock was found 1 hour south west of Fort Mcmurray Alberta.
• Longest width: 4 1/2 in, 11 1/2cm.
• Shortest width: 3 1/8 in, 8 cm.
• Weight: not known
• Density: not known

• The most interesting feature would have to be the possible age of this conglomerate.
• The chemical process that bound everything together as the rock still appears to be ocean or lake bed sand with pebbles in it.
• There appears to be some kind of distinct high speed impact crater on one of the surface rocks.
• There appears impact type craters and dark spots are on quite a few surface rocks.
• Interesting rock on surface that looks like a piece of meteorite.
• Possible olivine rocks on surface.
• Strange crystal shapes, a few look like fish scales or like the rock was torn away leaving a crystal crater similar to what some people call crondules. One question is where in this area that the rock was found, will you find this type of sand and rocks?
• Quartz and silica melts at 1600 °C, 2912°F , heat of objects entering earths atmosphere 1426-1600 °C, 2600-2900 °F
• Could this rock, if void of carbon, with heat protecting silica survive entering the earths atmosphere?
• Is this rock Alien?

Description:

• Although the rock looks brownish in the photos due to lighting, this rock is dark to light gray.
• When you move the rock to different light directions the surface sparkles as if it is full of crushed glass.
• In certain light it looks as if the rock was molten glass that was thrown in to a pile of sand especially in areas of impact.
• There are numerous high speed impact craters visible in the high resolution images.
• There is a unidentified aqua light green substance in certain areas, this can not be scraped off.
• Dimensions: 8 ½ in, 22 cm at the widest point; 6 ¼ in, 16 cm at the shortest point; maximum depth 2 ¼ in, 58 mm.
• Magnetic: Yes, a magnet will stick to this rock easily.
• Volume: 1300 ml, 1.3 litres
• Weight: 2.86 kg
• Density: 2.20384615384615 (g/cm3)
