| I've heard from the ragged rascals, I hope they don't mine me posting these snippets PeteG "...it looked like igneous rock. We have pics of one of the smaller stones in the passage (the "betyles") when it was displaced:- http://www.megalithics.com/wales/brynceli/celnicl.htm We noticed the striated "bark-like" surface of this smaller stone had similarities to the larger chamber stone. Given that these stones were set as focal points, it is likely that were specially selected for this appearance. We also noticed that one of the stones in the wall of the passage grave La Hougue Bie had a strange "organic" tree-like appearance, and this stone was concealed in a strange unexplained three stone "baffle" niche constucted in chamber. We have a pic of this stone on our La Hougue Bie page:- http://www.megalithics.com/europe/jersey/bie/biemain.htm It's about halfway down, above the cup and ring diagram, obviously not a fossil, but unusually shaped and specially placed with restricted visibilty. Interestingly, La Hougue Bie also contains betyle stones." Reply | with quote |  13th May 2009ce 17:41 In reply to: Chamber pillar a fossil tree trunk? (Michael Bott) |
