We found this (and several similar) rocks on our recent trip to Tassie. We're pretty sure it's jasper (or at least chert) but are intrigued about the different coloured scratches that are yellow-ish

Any ideas on what this might be?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks LW
Wasn't sure whether it was chert or jasper - the beach in Tassie is full of it.

I've attached a close-up photo with some pointers.

Any info on what those yellow trails are would be greatly appreciated.

If it's from penguin it's probably been tumbling in the surf with some brass. There's quite a bit of metal rubbish in the water there.
