My strange rocks

[jimb]

We all find them. Here are but a few that I do not know what they are. A geophysics friend looked at the gray one and said he never saw one like it. The long brown one was found at Masson Creek and might be Dino poop. The others have a glassy look to them, might be wing stars, but not traditional meteorites. Any ideas?

Those are some sweet rocks!

That silvery-looking one has a name, but it escapes me right now...

No matter, someone will come along that can identify it.

Anyone ID that silver one yet? I found two of those in a creek here in TN when I was a kid...Never did figure-out what they were...
