Is this the whatzit?


It sure looks like a fossilized dinosaur sealed in-place as it began emerging from somewhere-or-other.


or an elephant


Yeah, that's it. Not a fossil, mud or other wise.

https://adventures.is/iceland/attractions/elephant-rock/

Used Wayne's image plus a search on "columnar basalt arctic elephant". Key word being elephant. Pervious image searches on columnar basalt arches showed images like the one I previously posted all aligned with arctic locations; Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, Russia. Less similar were hits on Irelenad and Scotland. Tried adding Arctic and it only showed similar forms/stains. Add elephant and you get directed to the site.

Yes, it is cool. It's also not the same place.

The elephant's head/trunk is firmly attached to the main island

Photo is of a different elephant rock off of Molokai, Hawaii.

Now if I just knew the names of the parts of a flower I just might be able to go a but further.... Botany is not a strong area of expertise :wink: :wink:
