I have been all over most of the ridges from Ringgold GA to Summerville GA. Most of the rocks are basically the same and can be categorized into granite, slate both solid and soft and stratified rock. There are geodes in various areas. Iron ore and coal deposit exist as well. I stumbled upon a very very odd formation this past weekend. From a distance I thought is was a wall of some sort. Upon investigation this outcrop consisted of two types of formations. One was what looked to be geodes protruding from solid granite, almost like the were cemented in there. The other was very angular and square formations. The round ones when broken open looked like solid polished granite or marble almost. The square formations were the same when opened. This is really weird as this is the only place on this ridge I have found that this exists. Less than a 1/4 mile away all ridges consist of stratified slate and solid granite and is where iron ore was once mined. Also of note is this was in an area where there were three volcanoes.
I have attached pics of what I am talking about. I am seeking information on what this is, how it was formed and why this area seems to be a unique little pocket of these formations. What else might I be in the lookout for?
