Welcome back. Interesting stuff, supergranny! I'd like to know what an actual geologist might think of those rock formations. They remind me a bit of the submerged "Bimini Road" and the stone formation off Japan's Yonaguni Island -- both of which are highly controversial between geologists, archaeologists, and lost civilization buffs, because they resemble huge stone building blocks.
Some people with more imagination than sense even call the Bimini stones a road to Atlantis, crediting Edgar Cayce with predicting the "road". One author calls it a dry-dock for a fleet of Chinese exploratory ships. What both the Bimini and Yonaguni stones have in common is the fact that they may have been at or above the ocean surface thousands of years ago, due to lower Ice Age sea levels. But I understand that geologists say that natural stone can break down this way, with cracks at 90 degrees from one another. Regardless, this Cypress Hills formation certainly must have attracted the natives.
The round, shallow pits in the Cypress Hills stones seem to be rather normal Native American mortars, for the grinding of acorns or corn. I've seen their like in California in many places.
