Have you ever come across these in your travels and - TopicsExpress



          

Have you ever come across these in your travels and explorations? I have heard of them referred to as Indian Marbles, as supposedly Native American people would collect them for their children. What they are are Iron Oxide deposits in petrified sand dunes. As erosion wears down the dunes, these marbles erode at a slower pace and end up on the new surface. They can be found all around the four corners region. I collected a sack full and used them as swag when Geocaching.
