> due to the precise break that separates one half of the formation from the other. While it may look like a simple crack in the foundation of the sandstone, the break is so exact and straight that it looks as if though someone took a laser to the rock to split it apart. In addition, the two remarkably heavy sides of the formation seem to balance on nothing more than thin pieces of rock, appearing to nearly gravitate in thin air.
I'm pretty certain this is all easily explained by simple weathering and there are quite a number of examples of this kind of rock in the geological literature.
- EForEndeavour 5y agoI'd love to see other documented examples of weirdly perfectly split rocks!
