The Geological Oddity in Australia: The Rosette Rock
#rosette #geology #geosciences #australia #victoria #volcanoes #volcanicrock #volcanic #volcaniceruption #lava #basaltstone #basalt
The Rosette Rock is a formation that is rarely seen around the world. It's a striking display of columnar basalt that has formed a radial pattern. It resembles a rose or the spokes of a giant wheel. It likely formed from a lava flow that filled a cave, that was most likely constructed from an earlier lava flow. The result is a true geological oddity.
Along with the Rosette Rock we also look at the Tessellated Pavement. This columnar basalt formation is similar to the Organ Pipes that we looked at in the previous video, only it is the very top of the columns r...

#warrandyte #tunnel #australia #victoria #gold The Warrandyte tunnel, also known as the Evelyn Tunnel, was blasted through from one side of the mountain to the other to divert the major Yarra Yarra River in the early 1970s.

    In Tasmania, there are also two locations called the Tessellated Pavement (Eaglehawk Neck.) and the Organ Pipes (Mount Wellington/kunanyi.) Both were created by the same methods, just likely a lot slower and gentler. The basalt and dolerite flows were slow flood eruptions over much larger timeframes. The Tessellated Pavement differs in that all the blocks are square.

    These hills near Daly River, Northern Territory aremade of fragments of sandstone where the wave ripples that form in beach sand when the tide goes out and then subjected to heat that turned it to sandstone. The hils about line up with the perimiter of a circle that touches outside the increased depth of sea floor pushed from indonesia in a north east direction. Its likely debris of a Megatsunami from an indian ocean impact near the Burckle impact. Location: -13.611293, 130.761030

    do you think the rosette rock was a high pressure lava push while under water with the lava cooling as from water while the centre keeps pushing out ? seen scoria and that is usually when sea water gets into lava while cooling i.e there's a place in Tasmania that has the same thing and Micronesia has a temple complex made of the same hex rock forms which was fascinating to see , where they got them I don't know but was told the make up of the rock was lighter so could be a high pumice mix ? you should go QLD and look at Mt Scorpio I think it's called that was amazing to look at . it could be called Mt scoria which maybe why i call it that

    I visited the Organ Pipes NP in late 1972, from memory it was a pretty new NP back then, and the walk from the parking area was what you would call rough by today's standards.. We walked across the creek on the stones sticking out of the water, and marvelled at the close-up view of the piping formation of the wall. I'm sure one is not allowed to cross the creek these days. We never knew anything about a Tessellated pavement section, nor anything about the Rosette stone formation. I think another visit may be required in the not to distant future.
