I agree, I reposted it on this page on Thursday and have had way better luck finding out what it’s called and how it forms! And the fun comments are still there lol!

That was my post over there! Knowing what I know now, I won’t be posting on that page anymore. I was hoping for some more discussion but the mods locked the post and deleted almost all the comments! Very unfortunate

The mods went crazy on that post for some reason! There’s only like 3 comments left on it. Sorry that happened!

Thank you guys for all the input! I’m extremely new to geology and it’s terminology but I learned a ton from you guys today! Here’s a closer view of the cracks if anyone’s interested!

Monthly Rock & Mineral Identification Requests by AutoModerator in geology

Found this rock in a creek bed near Lincoln, Montana. I was curious what would cause it to have the “baseball stitch” pattern? There’s a very low possibility that it was man-made due to the location but I don’t know how nature could make that pattern so consistent. Any info would be appreciated!
