is this really poo??

casmik17 · Dec 9, 2014

My late fiance and I found this "rock" thing about 6 years ago while rock hunting in a nearby creek. It was wedged into the fork of a tree on the bank of the creek. I have had a few people tell me it is whatever gets discarded from a commercial airplane bathroom! I guess it could be, I have no idea but i am sure hoping it's something else!! haha...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

is it light? looks like pumice

i would say it is lighter than what a standard rock this size would be. it isn't like cotton ball light though...lol. Are you talking about pumice as in the same thing you use on the feet? if so, i would expect it to be quite a bit lighter than it is.

This is not poo! Airplane sewage if still dropped, would be frozen and after landing it would thaw.

Anyway, enough with the bs...
This chunk could be many things... some kind of mineral like travertine, but it doesn't look like any kind of pumice I have seen...

Maybe it's artificial, like some type of insulation material maybe? A broken piece would wear in a stream and look like a rock after some time.
