Definitely time for my annual viewing of this favorite. As a kid, I was obsessed with Heavy Metal magazine, as well as Cracked, Rolling Stone, Mad, and Fangoria. Once, my mom accidentally left me at the store, she went home, unloaded the groceries, sat around a while, asked my sister where I was, and then raced back to the store when she realized her mistake. She found me seated on the ground, in front of the magazines, exactly where she'd left me, thumbing through an issue of Heavy Metal. I was none the wiser, she didn't tell me until years later...

SEPTARIAN CONCRETIONS
Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia
Septarian concretions are unique rock formations characterized by their cracked or geometric patterns, often filled with minerals like calcite, aragonite, barite, and sometimes pyrite, encased in a hard outer layer of limestone or mudstone.
These formations occur in sedimentary rocks, typically originating in tranquil marine environments where an organic nucleus, such as a deceased marine creature or shell, gets swiftly enveloped by sediment.
