Brianna: Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Hopefully, it is not too late. Geology is pretty fundamental to soil types/habitats/etc. Some geologists have the ability, with a basic understanding
Bernard: Sorry for taking so long to get back to you..... There are three types of seismic waves, each has different properties and acts differently in solids, liquids and "plastics." Scientists
Tom: First my apologies in taking so long to get back to you. You certainly have an interesting rock and good observation skills. My first guess is that it is a piece of quartz. If that is what it is
