[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 667339, member: 4012"] Thanks for that. If the rock looks like others around it, but doesn't respond to a magnet like them, it seems to me probable that it is of different origin. A highly speculative idea I had, suggested by its rounded apprearance and perhaps strengthened by its size (but still highly speculative!), is that it was a rock carried there by aborigines for use as a seed or grain grinding tool. I have no idea whether this is likely or even possible, you'd have to get an expert to look at it, I giuess. [/QUOTE]
