Any geologists out there?

I found this interesting rock in a creek bed. I'm wondering what this formation is called and how it's created.

To my pretty ignorant eye, it kinda looks like shale that got fractured in sedimentary rock and then stuck there.
But without actually feeling it, i really wouldn't know for sure
It looks very cool.
@OogieBoogie that's interesting. I'll have to read up on that. What does feeling it tell you?
@robingoodfellow different types of rock feel different.
Shale is a softer type of rock, usually structured with thin layers. It has an exceptionally fine grain - almost mud like.
So id have to see it close up, feel it.


But im no rock expert. I only know stuff from what ive experienced, found and looked up or been told by others🤷‍♀
@OogieBoogie now that you say it, the part with the relief does have that reddish- shale look to it, different from the other half of the rock. I'm thinking you nailed it.
@robingoodfellow in truth - it really doesn't matter does it?

We see beauty in the most randomest of things.

And that's all that counts in the end,🤗
@OogieBoogie YES 😃
