Greetings! I saw these boulders at the Alabama gulf shore and wondered if someone could tell me what type of rock composes these boulders? I've browsed through a number of rock identification sites and cannot find a match. Best I got is that they might be gneiss but it doesn't look "grainy" enough. Pictures attached. Many thanks!

Chert (grey part), Basalt dyke (black stuff).
You can always just look at the local geology map for these types of rock.
