@MaAxx8,
My guess, Max, furrows caused by the passage of harder rocks

@MaAxx8,
Where are these rocks located? What is the approximate age of the geology in that area? Are these erratics or are they native to the area?

@rosborne979,
Ros, for what it's worth--probably not much-- it looks like chalcedony deposit on sandstone

@MaAxx8,
I would first suggest identifying the composition (i.e., mineralogy) and rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic). Once you understand these two things along with the mineralogy and rock type of surrounding/adjacent formations you can begin to postulate about the desposional or formational environment for this rock and the surrounding formations, which in turn may answer your question.
