I have a few. Let me see if I can get a clear shot of my mountain

 

[BigWaveDave]

So, when I was a kid, I found this rock in Damariscotta Lake, in Maine...probably about 1981 or so....
I thought it looked like a skull! I've toted this thing around from homelessness, between wives, and moves from New England to Florida, it's been with me through good times and bad, it's one of my prized possession....but it's just a rock.
My basic knowledge of geology, is this is granite, with a vein of quartz around what would be the "jaw line"
Back in the day, the quartz crystals were sharp and intact, made the teeth look sinister....but through time, they've broken off....my rock is now a part of the butterfly garden.
Thanks for looking!

BWD you've found Rango long lost family. You made a amazing find for the talking lizard race

 

[BigWaveDave]

So....does this qualify as a geofact?

 

[kingskid1611]

Heck I qualify as a geofart.

 

[civil_war22]

Yes if you go by the books and no if you want it to be Rango long lost relative
