These are moon rocks. Found on the Dinosaur Trail QLD.
If you look at the first rock you can see a fossilised Ammonite shell and also some small mussel type shells.
They grow from a "seed" possibly a fossil or bit of sand. The end result is like concrete. Well preserved fossils can be found in the centres of some.
The moon rocks here are large boulders. They grow into all different sizes.

The concern isn’t that letting Nazis back on Twitter (or any other major platform) is going to make people suddenly start thinking Nazis are good. The concern is that when people get used to hearing their ideas, other extreme ideas start sounding kind of reasonable and even acceptable. That’s the Overton Window, and it explains a lot about what’s going on right now. Far-right extremists use this tactic more effectively than any other group I’ve ever seen. 3/
Black Twitter is Irreplaceable. Did We Wait Too Late to Say That?

One day, when millennials like myself are sitting around the fireplace as elders, we may tell our grandchildren the story of Black Twitter, a network of Black people who came together to rejoice…

Hakeem Jeffries will be great in this position. He’s energetic and not afraid to fight, yet mature enough to find common ground and get things done. He will lead House Democrats with a relentless message that Democrats work for the interests of the American people and to protect freedom and democracy, while Republicans work for the interests of Wall Street plutocrats (and vicious autocrats like Putler). I’m looking forward to his leadership.

Appeared as a small puppy on the 6th day of a 7 day intense Soto Zen retreat, 'formally' named Kawaii (i.e. cute) by the Abbot. I lured him onto the property, from the curb of a busy street with a bowl of fresh water, and the rest is history. Best of friends for 10 years running. A magical beginning for a magical pooch. Every day is a joy.

Hi 3rd Grade parents,

If your child has not turned in the waiver for the chocolate factory trip this is SEPARATE from the permission slip and must be completed in case of ironic death due to moral failure.

Thanks,
