These are so strange aren't they Max! They really look man-made and yes very waxy... a great and really intersting image... I wonder what came out of it? LOL!

@Kylie Greenan: Whatever hatched out must have swum out to sea!

@Dimitrios: Yes they are fascinating ,this is the last shot of them for now. Next shots are all the abstract lily shots.

kylie from Shanghai, China

Not really aliens I hope, though these boulders are certainly strange enough to make anything seem possible. A fascinating series Max!

@kylie: Thanks Kylie, everyone seemed to think they looked like alien eggs and now it has sort of stuck!

Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France

Namaki from Bordeaux, France

ths one who sat on it was verrry heavy ! nice shot !

@Namaki: thankyou Namaki, it intrigues me as to why some have broken and others not, must be small fissures allowing the sea water in.

Veronelle from Lens, France

no, it is not a alien egg, it is empty ! :-))

@Veronelle: hehehe the alien has flown!!

Cia from Kvänum, Sweden

Lovely image! The stone looks like turtles

13 Oct 2008 2:39pm

@Cia: Yes they do look like turtles! thanks Cia.

willow from Chelsea, United States

Very cool - where's the little creature coming out?

14 Oct 2008 3:56pm

@willow: I hope he has long gone, if as everyone suspects it is alien!

Scotfot from Kabul, Afghanistan

Excellent concretion! What a size! Looks like the brownish mineralization caused a weakness... maybe!

14 Oct 2008 6:38pm

@Scotfot: Yes i did notice on some of the previous images that some had brown mineral lines running through them, and i wondered if that had caused the crack. Thanks Scotfot for your thoughts on this!

Jean-Michel from BRUSSELS, Belgium

Hi Maxine,
Nice shot ! This stone looks really like a little meteor, rock melted brutally cooled in water... ;-)

15 Oct 2008 9:33am

@Jean-Michel: Yes they are so interesting Jean-michel, you can google the Moeraki boulders and find out more there.

Arash from Dubai, United Arab Emirates
