Found a rock

[shmelton]

I’d say it’s definitely slag of some sort. A rock is going to be smooth on top from flood waters, and rain. There are to many undulations and not much erosion on it, a rock that close to a river would be almost smooth I would think. It could also be some type of mortar that was poured out when some kind of dock or ferry was built back when the world relied on rivers to ship goods.

Does your area have any historic iron smelting setups? Looks a lot like slag from a decent size bloomery furnace.

Not any thig like that near that area or in it's history that I am aware of at all. This is really remote big river bottoms in the on of the most undeveloped areas of the state for all of recorded history. Industry in that world was trapping, commercial fishing and years back diving to collect mussel shells.

Just cause I lift weights dont make me strong. I'm not sure Eddie Hall is moving that rock.

Looks like a Alien rock to me.

I bet Arkansas has a State Geologist. If you emailed them, they might even get back to you sometime before next year's hunting season. It looks volcanic or industrial to me but I don't know the history or geology of your area.

My area had some small furnaces during colonial times along with more industrial ones. It could have been a single use furnace to supply enough iron and steel till better could be traded for.

@BTaylor Do you have any buddies in the scrap business that would trust you with their 20K portable XRF analyzer? If you could get a hold of one, it should be able to tell you if it is some type of metal slag. Don't drop it!!!

I could drop it off at UALR, 10 minutes from my office. But if it is something weird, they will want to go see about it. I cant afford to get caught cutting their boat loose while they look.

I love it. @BTaylor is sitting on potentially the answer to a key answer in how the earth has been formed over the years, and all he wants to do is kill deer. Lol. Better post up a booner dead on that rock.

There was a grey-haired fellow named Frank Hill from S. Carolina that got rich selling jewelry made from plastic encased quail poop. He was a good salesman.

You've inspired me

I wonder if you got various colors of 2 part epoxy and even added colors and such and used it to encase various poops (dog, cat, deer, bear, the list is endless).....if practical jokers or edgy goth kids would scarf them up ?!?

You could do various molds. Why not a heart shaped epoxy Great Dane turd for your exMIL on Valentine's?

lol, Frank O. Hill was from my home town and he and my grandfather were buddies. He was far from rich but did have his own airplane. He used to land it on a state highway beside his house. He was in the Burt Reynolds’s movie “Stroker Ace” back in the day.

The earth was formed because God spoke it into existence. I already knew the answer to that one and dont need some lab coat to confirm or attempt to dispute it. He also put the deers here for me to eat but I have to kilt em dead first. Dont need the same lab coat fumblin around where they dont belong screwin up the huntin.
