Some very hot rocks.

@antlerradar here's one not far from you though not as interesting.

Would make for a great field trip for some collage geology class.

Would we find some of those nice sheds you are always sharing as well?

The Remington fire likely started 1000s of new coal seam fires. I would find a new one every time I looked for antlers in the burn this spring.

Not if I can help it.

Makes for some pretty cool rocks from that country as well. This chunk of clinker now resides in my wife’s flower bed.

I wonder what type of silicate or minerals were in the dirt to make it form like this?

Cool thread.

Looks like schist.

Ive found cal carbonate over there that looks like a crystalized leaves or feathers. That area got burnt to hell and still has mollusk shells within rocks and you could see the ripple marks on the top rimrock from the global flood. It was too heavy to pack out.

Looks like schist.

Art told me that it’s clinker. Rock formed by burning coal seams beneath layers of clay and mud.

This is definitely formed by fire and heat. Porous and light on one side. The other looks like molting rock drippings.

Eastern Montana and antlerradar version of the train station. Don’t mess with that guy.

Just let those sheds lay where you find them and you’ll be just fine….



Text from me to Art…. “Do you think you’ve got sheds from this buck?”

Art texts back ten minutes later. “Pretty sure I do but it looks like he’s really gone downhill since the last set I picked up.”

Probably Tuff Schist.

Shh...you're gonna let everyone know how great of a hunter I am . To be fair we were challenged to find antlers that Art didn't already have a set of sheds to match. I believe the reply was that he found the match but the buck has gone way downhill since

I think we should have cooked some back strap in the coal seam fire.
