I love bringing home a meaningful, special rock from places I've visited. I saw many that called out to me to take a look at them whilst in Aroostook County, Maine for our survey work. By week's end, I think I'd collected about 1 each day, for their texture, color or patterns that struck me as unique. This one below is what I would call my pièce de résistance - to me it is magnificent.
I don't quite know how it was formed and whether those ridged lines crisscrossing it are simply harder pieces that haven't been weathered as rapidly as the rest or the rock, or whether it's form something that was wrapped around the rock (roots?) that became fossilized. The patterns look too angular to be from roots. Fascinating.
Some of the other rocks had interesting markings on them, requiring them to be brought home too.
Here are a few more
