What would cause the rock to look like this

The port au port loop, too. And Twillingate and...

Twillingate's where I learned I really don't like cod. Expertly prepared, fresh caught, melt in your mouth etcetc and I hated it. Can't win 'em all.

The beach on the back of bell island was a great place to search for fossils
But now the cliff is broken away and the walk way down got washed away many so many layers to search through

first image is a rock i found not far from the oolitic hematite bed extremely heavy and hard any idea what it is
next is the hematite bed it is little over 4 feet tall the arrow is pointing it out it has has a chemical analysis of. Iron 51.26% , Silica 11.46%, Phosphorus 0.88%, Sulphur 0.04%, Lime 3.13%, Alumma 4.93%, Manganese Oxide 0.17%, Magnesia 0.61%, Titanic Acid 0.37%, Carbon Dioxide 2.13%, Combined water 2.52
thank you

man those vesicles and the whole story behind that first boulder. That would be a type of rock to lay out in a comprehensive test and have the student describe everything that can be seen and in what order it occurred.

What kind of analysis was done, bulk chemistry is a bit screwy

Is that analysis from older literature? We don't use the term "titanic acid" too much anymore

the analysis was done in the late 60s by the mining company dosco. the ore grade ranges from 50 percent iron to over 75 percent iron but has large amounts of phosphorous . the ore ranges in thickness from a few centimeters to13 meters thick. they were working on removing the phosphorous to keep the ore marketable in world markets but at the time other ore veins were found elsewhere that were cleaner and cheaper to process .78, 989, 412 tons were shipped from this mine it is estimated to be about 1/3 of what is recoverable ore.
i have more images that i will post from inside the mine and from formations on top and below the ore i am very much a beginner at this but i love going out to find rock formations and then trying to figure out how they came about. i so have the bug for it lol thank you for the help

Try to pick a sequence of beds and then trace them for distances and try to conceive of their positions and thicknesses on a topo map. You will develop an understanding of their emplacements and erosion sequences. Neat area for a geology student

Do you think this is a drop stone shale above and below it
it is about 2 and a half feet long and over a foot high

thank you so much for all the answers you have been giving me

It may be, or it could be a storm roller. The only diff is that dropstones are usually of different sed or (mwt/ig) material, and are usually in glaciofluvial deposits. I cant be sure without more pi of the sides and top. The bottom does look different enough though.

this a chunk i took out of that hole .when i cracked it in half this is what i found

i will post a wider view image when i get one thx again

that look like a clast. Its almost like a septerian nodule. Is that quartz in what appears as cracks?.
Neat . Itd be interesting to slab it and see what the insides look like on planar surface.
