  • What is this rock?

    Found this rock while out. Can anyone tell me what it might be.. It's very heavy for it's size and the right angles on it are cool
    thanks

    Welcome to the forum.

    That's a slightly strange question when you give us no context for what you found, no location and no dimensions.

    As things stand, it appears to be man-made, by an unknown hand and likely was once part of some construction of indeterminate age.

    Care to share some more details?

            Sure would be happy to give you all I know.

            I was digging for a pond in Schenectady Co. NY. On some land that was just empty and never had been as I am aware build on. Lots of CLAY around and some shale but mostly clay.
            TONS of large rocks etc. here are some more pictures

                Looks like you need a visit to a major library in your area and some consultation with old maps. If you're finding tons of rocks like this then there must for sure have been something constructed in this area. Six feet down is not necessarily an indication of great antiquity... especially not in clay soils and also not if those stones represent the foundation for something.

                  That greenish look almost makes me think it is serpentine. https://geology.com/minerals/serpentine.shtml
