Found a rock

Thought it sorta looked volcanic too but if that were the case shouldnt there be more than one. That was what had me leaning it fell there rather risin up.

Not if it was just a weak spot where the magma rose out of small opening then cooled. But then, I am no geologist.

Yeah, I was gonna say fossilized dinosaur poo, since it looks like a cow pie.

Meet Barnum. That's right, they named this hunk of poop. It's from a T-Rex and recognized as largest by Guiness WRs.

Apparently, most fossilized poo is from carnivores as herbivore scat breaks apart and decomposes too easily.

Still, it'd be sad to rule it out as BTaylor's king of poops (and coffee table).

Are you insinuating that one of our own could not have beaten this highly coveted world record? :)

Also, imagine handling fossilized poo that is a few million years old all day and not washing your hands. I mean, it's rock, but it looks like poop....so I'm probably scrubbing down with Dawn afterwards.

LOL, I may have found a T-rex turd of Rompola porportions.

Looks volcanic (igneous rock) to me. Maybe part of an ancient magma vent that rose to the surface...or a T-Rex that hit Taco Bell.

Volcanic (cow pie) lava bomb.

As much as I like the idea of it being something cool like a meteorite or dino poop, I suspect @Horn is closer to the real truth. That close the river bank I suspect it is some really old (possibly 100+ or so years) industrial slag from something. From the picture it looks a lot to me like it was poured there.
