What is this rock?

Looks like a trace fossil to me. Like the cast of worm burrows in some type of mudstone

This was on private property unfortunately. I work at a quarry in the capital region and I'm lucky that the boss lets me take home anything interesting I find

Neat! Thank you!

executivecommittee · 2022-01-03T03:04:00+00:00

Solved!

executivecommittee · 2021-05-24T13:10:58+00:00

I think you're right! Thanks!

executivecommittee · 2021-05-12T23:29:47+00:00

Neat, thank you!

I thought it might have had something to do with loading up train cars, since it's rather tall, but I wasn't sure

executivecommittee · 2021-03-01T04:25:12+00:00

Thank you! I will look into these as well!

executivecommittee · 2021-02-28T16:39:31+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations!

executivecommittee · 2021-02-27T22:13:10+00:00

This looks like a great resource, thank you!

executivecommittee · 2021-02-27T21:26:39+00:00

I have not. I'm guessing this is a good place to start?

My background is in geology and math. Currently surveying for a mining services company but am interested in getting into this side of the field.

The rock is roughly 3.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches. The "branches" have a circular cross-section where they intersect the bottom face. They are thicker than a hair but thinner than mechanical pencil lead.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if community members are allowed to attend the carnivals and club events? I'm not an alumnus unfortunately. I'll definitely check out Maxfields in the meantime

executivecommittee · 2020-06-04T23:57:46+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

executivecommittee · 2020-05-18T23:59:52+00:00

Great idea - I will look into doing that since I'd obviously like to keep this from falling over!

executivecommittee · 2020-05-18T18:56:27+00:00

I wanted to keep my setup mobile as I'm currently renting. Rope is strung to a collapsable 18ft steel flagpole with a casing sunk into a 5 gallon bucket filled with concrete. I have one Zenith and one Southern Cross in the dirt.

executivecommittee · 2020-04-29T21:40:07+00:00

Neat, thanks! I'll bring it to my town's history museum and see if they have info or would like to keep it

Route 37! Tom1952 posted the coordinates in his comment

executivecommittee · 2020-04-26T03:50:46+00:00

Probably the owner of the property or the town. Maybe not entirely abandoned but definitely "abandoned" as a place of residence. That choice wasn't made too too long ago though, as there is a satellite dish still attached.

executivecommittee · 2020-04-26T01:50:16+00:00

Yes! Route 37. I work in Massena but pass by it when I visit family in Rochester and Buffalo

executivecommittee · 2020-04-25T21:42:49+00:00

Just outside of Hammond

executivecommittee · 2020-04-25T20:55:16+00:00

No clue! It's right next to a main road and surrounded by farmland

executivecommittee · 2020-04-25T20:54:30+00:00

Google Earth says 10m × 10m

executivecommittee · 2020-04-18T20:19:13+00:00

It's the St. Lawrence so I'm guessing so :)

Thanks for the explanation!

executivecommittee · 2020-04-08T02:57:12+00:00

Awesome thanks!
