The USA four corners area (especially Utah) has some wonderfully alien terrain covered in formations like this. I've walked over fields of bizarre door handles, thin porches, endless wormholes, and smooth pockmarks. Imagine the signature formations of Arches National Park, but done at 1/16 scale and dotting a square acre. It's amazing what shapes are left behind when a soft, sedimentary rock surrounds and then erodes from denser igneous and metamorphic.
I'm just a guy who likes to walk outside and certainly not a scientist, but this looks very much like a unique and fascinating protrusion of dense polished rock or metal. Simplest explanation and all that.

You may know it better as the place Jason Nesmith's crew went looking for a beryllium sphere before Nesmith had to fight a gorignak. http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/goblin-valley http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/goblin-valley
- sakopov 14y agoYou may be onto something. For some reason i thought it was a large formation when in reality it is only half a centimeter tall. At that size i don't see why it couldn't be some sort of weird rock formation. The two circular shapes above look interesting though. That's probably what throws many people off.
