Gday all,

Thought i'd see if anyone can tell what this is.It is a genuine thing,correctly orientated and looks exactly the same in real life.

Cheers,

A rock in a cave?

Looks like a Gorillas big toe (or foot thumb, if that is a term)

Limestone surrounding an old tree root inside a cave....

You should upload as a jpeg, not a bmp, so we can see the full size.

Looks like it's in some cave?

Hi all,

Well done to those that said limestone.
My son came up from Adelaide for 3 days so i took them out to Chillagoe and we all went through the "Royal Arch Cave".
Everyone on the tour had a good laugh at this formation (for obvious reasons). Apparantly in the past they have had written complaints demanding that it be removed. Got plenty of other pics and when i work out how to upload them i shall.

Cheers for now,
Duncan

Good one Duncan, that was a good chuckle.
As an Ex-Geologist I have seen some amazing formations and crystals and still find it amazing that people can be upset by nature.
Good to see that no-one has listened to them.

Cheers
