I think I found something that will end up in a museum.

At first I thought this was just a very cool rock. In person it's hard to see how much detain is really on this rock. It appears this was a piece of tablet but not sure. I'm having pictures of it analyzed at Texas University via a contact in the archology department so I should get word soon. . This rock is Blue Limestone and you can find these kinds of rocks all around here, but never did I expect one to have pictures on it. 

It rained two days ago and I wanted to see what new rocks came up in the Wash and it was facing up in the middle like it wanted to be discovered. Next rain it probably would've be gone forever. I'm still in a  bit of disbelief. I wouldn't accept this had man made marking on it but it does. Complicated ones. Someone spent lots of time on this little section/piece. 

I can't make out what the images are.. only guesses on one.

Looks like a peice of my old bathroom tile lol. But seriously that is cool nice find. Should be interesting to see if they can figure out some details of your find.

[KaptCrunch]

wow heritage of the Indians  err naitives  i guess  around 1700's  

[ALanHim]

One contact David who contacted his son a archaeologist, he's not seen the types of rocks in my area nor have most. I knew it was not a tool. It would make a great step or table but not a tool. When the mountains rose up these were sheets on the bottom of the ocean that broke apart creating smaller sheets and some are great for a tablet. The Foothill here has a mix of everything and some locations they found Mammoth bones. It like a soup of rocks and ocean silt and stuff I'm located on. I can walk 10 feet and get a different kind soil in stripes going twards the mountains.  Amazing rocks. No tell what you will find. 

With regular Blue Limestone here you can't leave a good image as it's dark blue all throughout the rocks. This has a cliché like sediment layers making it a bit brittle at the layers but it's still hard as a rock just with weak points. You can scrap off the layer and get to parts of the cliché layers leaving image a lighter image. As a tool it would break at one of them layers. 

Taking it to a few places today to have it looked at while waiting for the geology department. I need AZ people to look at this though not Texan's. No offence to Texas as I'm a Texan... Texas don't have rocks like we do. I also have to make sure the laws allow me to have this. Since in the Wash I should be good but if found on land some place and this ended up being a bigger site, then I broke the law taking it. So making sure they know where I found it, on my property 100 feet from my cats cave a Bobcat Sylvester who was in his cave and not happy I was there. 

So many cool things about this find. This rock was not there three days ago. I would've seen it before. I wanted to see what new rocks came down after the rain as it flows like a creek to a river to raging rapids depending on the rains... and this was facing up wanting to be found right in the middle of the Wash. I think it was begging to be found.  

I'm a kid in a candy store here because I freaking love rocks. I use to collet rocks as a kid and I had to throw them all away when my mom found them. I'd be Lucey in the movie 'Long Long Trailer' where she kept collecting rocks on their trip weighing the trailer down. That would be me. I was the kind who always had a rock in my pocket. So here I can collect and keep every rock I find. Along with my natural rock gardens that won't be touched. It so freaking cool looking all the rocks in their natural state untouched by humans. All the rock in the Wash is fair game as it will probably wash away if you don't get them.  There's an ENDLESS supply. 

Rocks are people too and they deserve a good home where they'll be protected form asshole who'll put them in concrete or something else. hahahahaha

They are actually called Stratospheric Aerosol Injection SAI.

LaBobby is a map to the witch doctor calling card LoL

VERY interesting. Slight chance it is natural as Nature can do funny things - (ALanHim - look in the mirror and you'll see what I mean)

[ALanHim]

Update. I’ll be donating this to the School I’ve decided. Then it can  be seen by others and protected.

We shall find out if that's what it is. An Ex XI member pointed it out to me who lives here close to me. I didn't believe I found anything special but a very cool rock till he told me no way it was natural. 

After taking pictures I could see the details better. Hard to see them otherwise.

BTW this is the location I found it in the middle of the Wash just past that Walnut tree on the right. Bobcat cave is just up ahead. He gets made at me if I hang out too long so I at times go back and he leave me guts from a deer to let me know stay away. He used to shit by my front door till I dumped a bucket of shit on top of his cave. Ever since he hasn't done that. I'm not joking. You want to mark my territory.. I'll mark yours. Plus I can stand right above is cave. It's where him and I met one night the first time. 

Them trees are right in front of his cave entrance.

Now I can be wrong. Wife says I am all the time. Check out Stromatolites. It's what I think you have. If I'm right it's still a great find. They are some of the oldest fossils. This is why you keep you old university texts. Geology is a great vocation. Lol 

[KaptCrunch]

going up stream either side of creek, what's the land like  flat, hilly  would give indication if the land was worked. may check cenus of land owners  may been a village

I believe she is very correct. No wonder you married her. Question is why did she.. never mind wrong topic for that discussion. 

I have TONES AND TONES of these Stromatolites. I can not avoid finding one if I tried. I can't help but step on them wherever I go. All this was Ocean floor and volcanic activity on the mountains. 

I'll how to show your wify the layers in the Wash. It's very cool and has lots of history in it. 
I took pictures of some good Stromatolites for her to see.

Tell the Wife she's correct. Now to confirms if the image is wheat or not. 

Reading this signature I have to laugh. 
School of Human Evolution.. oh man. He's confused though. Even if the Alien's did it, we were created.  

[Labob]

Lol I personally think it's worth some money. Not sure if the lines are rare or if it's so different. But it is in nice shape. Still a great find. Wonder how many billion of years old it is.

I think it is worth some money because they've never seen one like it before it looks like.  The lines are what have me a bit baffled. What lines are natural and what was carved is my question.
These line here I guess are natural but I'm not sure. Natural but they carved the middle out I guess. ??? I really don't know.

Well every mineral has a different hardness so they decay at different rates. The beauty lies in how mother nature assembled your rock. Then how she touched it over the billion years or so.

I've seen strange designs out here in rock I just never seen one like this before with such strait lines like bricks. The lines just don't look natural. Very cool rock.

Were I'm at I'm surrounded by a horse shoe of mountains on three side. The mountains have vents all overt them that have crystals hanging off of them. Many crystals have been taken but you can still see where they were. My point when all this was under water it had to be something spectacular. Most of what was left when all this dried up is still here.

In the background is Mexico. You can see the boarder wall but it is a bit faint. Too much crap in the air. 

About here..... 6 miles away.

Dry thats the word I would use   I'm shocked you have internet.
