On my recent trip to Longhorn Cavern State Park, nestled within the hill country of Texas, our guide pointed out this unusually-shaped stone. The story goes that the CCC workers who originally excavated the cave during the Great Depression found the rock burried in mud at the back of the cave, shaped exactly as you see above. The rock was moved to the front of the cave once public tours of the cave began. On one such tour, a lady accidentally leaned against the rock and pushed it over, breaking it in two. After cementing it back together, the park staff also cemented to it's rock pedestal to prevent any further damage. Whether the rock was truly found in this shape, I don't know, but its still a neat little story!
Leave me a comment below and tell me what you think: Was this rock eroded to this shape, or did Man have a little something to do with it?
