This large rock fragment is a volcanic bomb that was thrown almost half a mile during an eruption.

Because it cooled down outside of a volcano, it cooled quickly.

Is it an intrusive or extrusive igneous rock? What size crystals does it have?

By looking at color and crystal size, what is the name of this type of igneous rock?

You are looking at a tilted rock bed. The white rock is limestone and the dark rock is a special type of shale called a mudstone. What type of

weathering has caused the mudstone to weather faster than the limestone?
