A field of ‘strange rocks’ While approaching Gediz Vallis channel, Curiosity sent back pictures of an unusual sight: a flat area, about half the size of a football field, scattered with bright ...
A kimberlitic plug and several sills have been found within the northern part of the structure. The kimberlite plug has been dated to around 99 million years old. These intrusive igneous rocks are interpreted as indicating the presence of a large alkaline igneous intrusion that currently underlies the structure and was created by uplifting the ...
The strange monolith looks like it could have come from another world. Jutting out of the rocks in a remote mountain range near Las Vegas, the glimmering rectangular prism's reflective surface ...
Orthogonal joint sets quite often result in the formation of rock formations that are comparable in size and shape to the blocks shown in pictures of the alleged megaliths. [8] [9] It is quite common for spheroidal weathering, a form of chemical weathering, to occur as groundwater circulates through orthogonal joint sets in the near-surface. [10]
After 60 years of trying, geologists finally pried rocks from Earth's upper mantle. That's huge for so many reasons.
Klerksdorp spheres are found in carbonaceous shales (wonderstone) that occur as lenses within the 1.5 km (0.93 mi) thick Syferfontein Formation. It is composed of feldspar-quartz-phyric felsic volcanic rocks, basaltic to andesitic lava, tuff and breccia and is part of the 2.7 km (1.7 mi) thick Mesoarchaean Dominion Group.
