Description
Sincere apologies to those that may look forward to my posting daily, I should be back on track now.
Came across this out cropping of the material from which Moki Marbles come from.
These abundant concretions found in the Navajo Sandstone consist of sandstone cemented together by Hematite (Fe2O3), and Geothite (FeOOH). The iron forming these concretions came from the break down of iron-bearing silicate materials by weathering to form iron oxide coatings on other grains. During later diagenesis of the Navajo Sandstone while deeply buried, reducing fluids, likely hydrocarbons, dissolved these coatings. When the reducing fluids containing dissolved iron mixed with oxidizing groundwater, they and the dissolved iron were oxidized. This caused the iron to precipitate out as hematite and goethite to form the innumerable concretions found in the Navajo Sandstone.

Woah...very cool....crazy and wonderful looking!:-)
Great pic!
Fascinating !!
FABULOUS! great shot
Neat pic...glad for the wiki inspired explanation:)
Thanks for the info. I think this explains the cow pie-looking formations I found over in Utah at the edge of one of the Horse Canyos. They did look like they had at least some Fe component and hydrocarbons. Interesting stuff, in small doses with lots of pictures. :D
wonderful!!!
Fantastic photo and very interesting formation! Well done!!
How fascinating! Another formation that strikes me as "nothing like this on earth..." Amazing view of the components.
Very nice image and information. Great lighting and textures! Excellent capture.
