A broken obloid chunk of gray rock with a cracked-white coates shard sticking out of one side. Wavy striations weave through the rock, stickong out perpendicular to the encased white shars. Sitting on a smooth concrete surface.

I found it hiking near Lethbridge, Alberta years ago, just found it again while going through old boxes. The wavy lines look kind of organic, but I don't know about the rest.

That layer that runs through the middle, does it flake apart easily or is it pretty solid?

I've got a couple pieces that remind me of this, I'll dig them out and see if my memory serves me right.

It looks like 2 pre-made frozen beef patties separated by a sheet of paper, but it's super incredibly freezer burnt.

Do share them! It's pretty solid. I can't conduct further investigation until I'm visiting my folks again.
