ROCK WRITING PLOY

[ron902]

I was doing some landscaping in the Union, Ky area when this writing on a rock caught my eye while digging. It doesn't seem to have been a natural occurrence, or kids playing with rocks. It seems to have obvious marking that pertain to something.......but what? help. These are some pics. I see letters an shapes.....

Ive seen some fossilization that looked similar to that.

I can't tell from the pix, but if it is a bunch of fossilized shells in matrix, you can probably tell by looking at the broken cross section - do you see any fossils there, edges of shells? (Use a magnifying glass)

Drop some vinegar on it (http://www.minimegeology.com/home/mgeo/page_280/fizz_acid_test_or_limestone_rocks_experiment.html) and it should bubble if limestone.

Let us know what you discover!
