Wood won't burn

yes, I'll go take a pic of some bubbles and lava rock. be back in a few. We don't need a bunch messin in our camp. we got enough poachers as it is.[/QUOTE]

I know what you mean. You may want to keep it under your hat, if they find out they'll be on your door step. However there goes the " no volcanoes in Arkansas" theory. No lava without volcanoes.So very reassuring

 

well now ya got me scared, I took some pics of it. I got more of this stuff than I realized. probably got 100 of just bubbles. got some layered lava too. but this stuff is not exclusive to just our area. they find this stuff all over south Arkansas. kinda like the game and fish tells us there are no mountain lions here either.

 

Finally, someone found some wood that is actually too old to burn.

 

Use of the word "THE" and not "YOUR" wood is critical to the success of this

 

What Mountain Lions Don't you know they are all escaped from circuses?

 

You’d be surprised.

 

I seen one cross my shooting lanes at deer season several years ago. couldn't believe what I was seeing. they have them on game cams too. maybe the same cat. I dunno. but I know there was one there. we used to never have bears either. now they're thick.

 

It's be a lot of dino bones and they're all shaped the same. no long bones. just a round rock.

 

Meh, what the heck here goes. just a sample of a slew of it.

 

I have some lava flow slabs, but didn't get em out. now if that stuff ain't lave, what is it?

 

There is a creek there that has a lavaflow shelf about three feet down, it hangs out over the water. the water has washed it up over the years and a huge petrified tree is under it. it's all on the side of a big hill that I'm bettin was made by lava flow.

 

Its likely that looks to be remains of a mineral spring. Hot spring. The gentle bubbling likely created these smooth small stone like bumps. That’s actually really cool. If you look at Yellowstone, you’d see similarities in the “ponds”. Possibly an eruption could have happened to leave the spring remains there or hot spot moved on.

 

I know anywhere you find the trees this stuff is everywhere. some of it is solid sheets and looks like a flow that hardened.

 

Oh ok I wondered if you were referring to the last two photos in your cache of the postings. The flat flow,
Probably yes. Your soil/rock composition below will have a lot to explain. But even down deep there was probably something that came up that might not be present anymore... just my thoughts. I forgot how fun geology is exploring what happened long before stepping in.

 

I did google lava rocks and they don't look nothing like what I have so...... I dunno

 

We do have hot springs here, have a town named that and it full of the hot water coming up. stuff is really hot too.

 

These are the rocks they told him were dino bones.

 

Those two round ones I have in my hand, they are hollow and have like rusted iron looking stuff. they are everywhere there. few years ago there was a tree that went across one of the skidder roads and I was muzzeloading and caught a guy on a dozer right where the tree was and ask him if he would push that big sucker up. he wouldn't do it. I know why too, it would have left a heckuva hole to fill up. he was getting the road ready for semi's to get down for the loggers. That tree was about five feet across and it wasn't half way out of the ground.

 

Some of the flat shelves and layers look like this.

 

WOW! It sounds like you have one heck of a site, a geologist's dream. Unfortunately i'm not a geologist, just the basic course in college and don't even ask when that was. now i'll have to spend a lot of time looking at rock formations and lava flows nothing i love more. New stuff to explore. They say if you keep your mind active, keep learning it helps you stay young. If they are right i should make to 200 easy
