Weathered vesicular basalt (probable volcanic bomb)
Basalt, primarily plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine
Fossiliferous limestone (likely crinoidal or shell limestone)
Calcite-rich limestone; predominantly CaCO₃, with visible fossil fragments
Quartz (Small Grains)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Quartz-rich pegmatite (possibly tourmaline-bearing)
Granitic pegmatite; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and dark mica/amphibole
Quartz on Matrix
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Clear Quartz (Rock Crystal)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Grey River Pebble (Greywacke / Basalt)
Stream-rounded silicate rock pebble
Unidentifiable embedded dark fragment
Indeterminate; possibly a dark silicate mineral or lithic inclusion
Quartz Pebble
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Fossilized tooth or bone fragment
Indeterminate fossil; possibly a small fossil tooth or mineralized bone, exact identification requires microscopy
Milky quartz (rough quartz fragment)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Conglomerate
Conglomerate (SiO2 matrix with various silicate clasts)
Quartz (Clear/White)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Pebble
Lithified rock fragment / Sedimentary clast

Polished Rock Fragment
Milky Quartz
Quartz (SiO2)
Small brown quartz-rich pebble, possibly chert or jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), tentative
Likely weathered granite or granitic pegmatite
Granite; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and mica
Quartz Pebble
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Small weathered stone, possibly quartz-rich granite or feldspar
Indeterminate granitoid fragment; likely quartz (SiO₂) and feldspar, with minor mica or iron oxides
Likely quartz-bearing rock fragment
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly with calcite or feldspar
Weathered limestone or calcareous tufa
Calcite-rich carbonate rock, primarily CaCO₃ (often micritic limestone or travertine/tufa)
Polygenetic Conglomerate (or Breccia)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Weathered chert or silicified limestone nodule
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly replacing limestone; exact identification requires testing
Mixed small mineral specimens, likely quartz varieties
Uncertain from the image; translucent pieces may be quartz (SiO₂), while golden-brown pieces could be iron-stained quartz or calcite
Milky quartz pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Weathered quartz- or feldspar-rich rock fragment
Indeterminate light-colored silicate rock; possibly quartz or feldspar in a granitic fragment
Dark gray-blue stone fragment
Unidentified fine-grained rock; the image is insufficient for a reliable species-level identification
Small gray rock fragment
Unidentified rock; the image lacks enough detail for reliable mineral identification
Dark rock fragment, possibly basalt
Unidentified mafic volcanic rock; basalt is a tentative visual identification
Weathered quartz-rich rock fragment
Likely quartz–feldspar-rich granitoid, possibly granite or granitic gneiss; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Gray stone fragment
Unidentified fine-grained gray rock; exact identification is not possible from the image
Likely basalt or another dark, fine-grained volcanic rock
Basalt (tentative; composition cannot be confirmed from the image)
Granite fragment
Granite, a coarse-grained felsic intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of quartz and feldspar
Dark gray, fine-grained rock fragment (possibly basalt)
Basalt (tentative identification; image alone cannot confirm)
