As if there was any organization around here in the first place... :)

No worries. Just wanted to mention the older thread.

So, where's that stuff from?

Ha! Figures.

Your first photo kinda looks like a kid’s homemade volcano, for a science fair, or something of the sort… Good random rock quiz.

In the first picture, what you see is the guts of the formation, the darker stuff in the other pictures is the 'shell' that saw weather before this chunk broke off of a house sized formation on the lakeshore

It still amazes me that such formations can occur inside a larger formation.

That, and the fact that when placed the right way, it reminds me of some crazy mountain that I should climb someday.

Yeah Nature!
