[QUOTE="Bobj., post: 467630, member: 14508"] Looks like an ironstone concretion. Most likely a tiny ball of mud was rolled along in fine sand and grew and hardened over millions of years. One of the best places I ever came across for this type of rock is on the Berkly Hwy, straight opposite the Ranken T/O (about 100 km west of Camooweal) Literally tonnes of the stuff and as big as soccer balls, but most is chert and quite pretty. And, a very good campsite just off the road, being an old NT main roads campsite. It's part of the Berkly Tablelands ribbonstone area Cheers, Bobj. [/QUOTE]
