Re: Really Old Stuff

Looks like a weather rock. <br /><br />This rock is the perfect weather indicator, it<br />never fails. It is more accurate than your local<br />weather person. This rock is the living word and<br />is 100% correct. This is how it works:<br /><br />a dry rock means fair weather.<br />a wet rock means it's raining.<br />a dusty rock means a dust storm.<br />a swaying rock means it's windy.<br />a shadow under the rock means it's sunny.<br />a white rock means it's snowing.<br />if the rock is jumping up and down, an<br />earthquake is upon us.<br />if the bottom of the rock is under water it's a<br />flood.<br /><br />most beautiful of all, though the rock is not<br />attached to its' existence, it doesn't mind which<br />of the above is happening.<br /><br /> http://www.windycreek.com/weatherrock.html <br /><br />

Re: Really Old Stuff

I don't know what it is but I'll take a guess that its part of an old prop or anchor maybe? Is the 3 and a half inches a clue?<br /><br />Aldo

Re: Really Old Stuff

I must really be weird because it looks like a black lab to me.<br /><br /> This could be a fun winter past time. We could post a picture of something old or unusual and then try to guess what it is. Then the correct guesser could post a picture or we could just take turns.

Re: Really Old Stuff

I'd place it in Mid-Cretaceous period about 110 Million years old.<br /><br />It began its life as Tyrannosaurus rex poo. Now, it's a good paperweight.<br /><br />Sean
