I used to hunt the volcanic intrusive events around Arco and Challis Idaho, along with anything down in the Owayhees and Rabbit Springs Thundereggs along with Granitic Pegmatites in the island park area as well.

    Set into the bank of a recently built logging road, I found odd rocks of various sizes. They consisted of a very hard gray round core with very tiny shiny bits in its cross-section. They also had a rock coating of a much softer less dense rock type of a medium brown color, which crumbles if hit with another rock. These rocks are very much like an egg in their construction, but they are definitely not eggs. Some of these rocks are singular in their placement within the sand of the bank, while others are pressed together like frog eggs. The smallest of these rocks was about 1 inch in diameter, while the larger rocks were about 10 inches in diameter. Can you please tell me what these rocks are and how they were formed?

    • @GeoForge
