Hakaku Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Judging from the picture, it appears the holes are only found around the lighter brown color of rock, which indicates two different compositions (hard to tell). I'm no geologist, but it's probably caused by a chemical reaction between something and that part of the rock.
»doc flabby Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 possibly caused by gas bubbling though the rock when it was created

Just my theory.
PoLiX Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 almost looks like a piece of lava stone, sometimes released with pumice. In which the gas bubbles either explode out, or later the water eats away at the softer/thinner areas of rock and free's it or just opens the hole if the gas has since leaked out. Can find lots of them at Spirit Lake up on Mt. Saint Helens from its last eruption, that and all around the sound here from Mt. Rainer and other cascade mountain's past eruptions.
X`terrania Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Lot of the rocks on Mars have holes in them as well
Samapico Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Lot of the rocks on Mars have holes in them as wellYeah, but it's because they're hit by meteorites and dust
