Creek walking today in SE Iowa.
Found this black, glassy rock. I’m told there was no volcanic activity in this area, so no obsidian.
I’ve found a lot of black, shiny rocks over the years, but none like this one.
It doesn’t resemble any of the various coal samples I’ve found either. Ideas welcomed. 👍🏼
