The unusual looking outer crust is a result of natural pitting corrosion due to Salpeter content in the soil of the Atacama desert.

I drive a very short distance to an area near Thousand trails off of HWY 260 close to Cottonwood and hunt all I want for free its a nice area that is near the river with many exposed rock layers near by I have found some nice examples with pictures soon to follow. Thanks to this really Super Great web site that makes it possible. Tim
