STONE

My House in Sugar Land, Texas


We don't have rocks or stones in this part of Texas. The land is layers of gumbo and fertile silt that have washed down through the river system
from all over the Central U. S. for thousands of years. When I go on vacation, I bring home a rock or two.
This one is from Lake Superior, one of the Great Lakes and the home of many, many rocks.

A nice holiday souvenir - we do the same.
I thought a 'gumbo' was a type of fish stew, but clearly I was mistaken!

On second viewing, it looks like a dinosaur with its eyes closed!
Chris30-Jun-2018 15:26
With eyes it would be a model dinosaur! A beautiful stone for sure.

Geology always interests me. This rock is a beauty. Our state rock is the Lake Superior Agate. V

An interesting rock for sure and fascinating comment about the geology of your home town.

Quite a fascinating looking rock, and a nicely detailed capture of it. V.

curious geology in your area then...this rock is an intriguing choice of souvenir, with those russet seams suggesting an iron component..
