that doesn´t work because the app does not indentify rocks well tried it already. get petrified wood and hematite

Hematite is interesting
So what do you think it might be?
Please don't say a meteorite.

if i knew what it was i wouldn´t have asked what may be. why is hematite interesting? this is the inside.

Looks like some type of granite, IMO, but then again I'm no expert.

My Android says "Coprolite" which is fossilized feces but you just never know lol

Imagonna say mostly quarts former sandstone metamorphosed back to almost a solid rock, over many eons.

Crush it up and you will have some nice sand. You have the power to reverse perhaps millions of years of geologic process with just a hammer

you are the closest with your answer, after some googling i think it is Arkose.

that would be a pretty big bump of s**t it weighs 20 kilo. maybe a dinosaur corprolite

 

[rockpassion]

just got to cutting a piece, so what do you guys think. Arkose or not?or maybe greywacke?

Why is hematite interesting?
It's the main source in iron production.
It's been used as a pigment for over 150,000 yrs.
Just about every protective primer has hematite in it.

A type of iron hydroxide.

please look at my last photoś and let me know what you think.

That rusty colored rock you posted I'm referring to. Look up iron hydroxide rocks or minerals.

have you seen the photo's of a cut fragment of the rock?

HuhI The inside looks like a grainy quartzite. Not sure what the darker specks are. Maybe manganese? Describing a particular rock at times can be somewhat overwhelming, because there are so many variations. Many rocks have never been given a specific name, so you can only say its a type of whatever metamorphic, sedimentary or igneous in origin. A good thing to do is say where exactly you finds these individual rocks, so one can do a little research on the geologic makeup of the area it was found. Knowing that might give you more information on how it might be possibly formed and possibly a given name of your rock.

I found a broken rock of total weight of 45 kilo and all the photo's are of those fragments and main mass. What i know is that the rock is not very hard when i cut it and the black specks are carbon and the main mass and fragment have big veins of melted and crystalized black material in which you can observed concoidal fractures. The rock does not atract a magnet.The rock has been transported with limestone blocks to the area where i found it, so the find location is unknown. both most likely the netherlands south limburg.

Indeed rocks can get moved around in all kinds of un-natural ways these days by the hand of man.
