@CiaraNi @JustFi maybe not so far off. We get beautiful little creations washed up on the shores of Lake Erie sometimes. In many cases I think they are man-made agglomerations, like brick veneer with mortar or pebbles embedded in concrete. After they are smoothed by a few years in the water, they can be the coolest things ever (IMO).
So maybe you personally didn't make this, but your species might have.
@CiaraNi Interesting rock. If you zoom in, the black stuff looks like tar or bitumen to me. Like it's coating the rock as opposed to being part of the rock.

@ShadowInTheVoid @NormanDunbar I was struck by the apparently clear divide between the black and white halves, as if they had been used by some amazing process or force. One half being a 'coating' over the other is probably more likely.

As you played one in drama class at school, I am going to accept anything you say about this rock and any other rock.
@NormanDunbar The texture of it fascinated me. And the wildly different textures.

I couldn’t quite remember what they’re called so I searched “walking rocks” and got there immediately 😂
@robtherunt That's what I thought of at first too - rocks coming and going through tidal movement and coastal erosion. The idea of sailing rocks is far more exciting.
