Walking With a Glacier: Part 5

You Aren't From Around Here!


The rocks that I find along the trail are poetically charged.

This one was found in the same area as the others. I made an  assumption that any rock I picked up along the trail had been left behind by the "Wisconsin Glacier."

But life can be so complicated.

The best guess coming from Burney's Rock Shop tells a different tale.

This rock is an example of "Knife River Flint" which was actually formed in North Dakota. Valuable as trading currency, Native Americans used this high quality rock for tool making purposes.

This rock was not formed in Wisconsin or pushed here by glaciers. 

It walked.

Great data base for information about rocks and minerals:
