Jeff Looks like a sedimentary pressure metamorphosized aggregated conglomerate to me... :).
But I have seen similar looking rocks in the Alps (Austria) only over there they tend to be found near river beds, something to do with the Ice age. Could also be a type of granite or Marble there is a lot about in that area of the world (the pyramids are made of a similar stone) Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Kuyken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 December 2003 10:39 To: Meteorite List Subject: [meteorite-list] Aswan Rock - Opinions? Hey all, When I was in Egypt in October, I jumped onto a young half-trained CCRRAAZZYY camel and headed out into the desert. Among a few rocks (mostly fossils) I found an interesting stone which was nothing like the others in the area. I don't think it is a meteorite but it does look like some kind of breccia. It is a broken quarter sphere in shape and the photos are of the two broken surfaces. I'd appreciate any opinions on this one.
