I found these two halves of a piece of broken gravel in the gravel border around our house. Besides the surprise of finding two halves of the same rock within a short distance (12″?) of each other amid all the other random gravel pieces, I was taken by the way the cross sections of the swirls of material within the rock s mimic leaves of grass or other plants. These swirls carry all the way through the rock but on the outside they just look like rock swirls, taking no obvious shape. I guess I could have called this post Faux Fossils because they are reminiscent of the botanical fossils that are abundant in certain places.
