Rhino Rock

         This granite boulder with a height of about 40m and width of 20m has a protruding stone cone on it, which looks very much like a mono-horned rhino. It was formed when the granite boulder was cut by several groups of fractures (joints) and affected by weathering, runoff erosion and gravitational collapse.

        Do you know what granite stone cone is?

        The internal constituent, structure and construction vary  in different granites. Some especially hard and more weathering-resistant parts formed protruding cones.
