Clifford's Rock

The history of this strange object is being reconstructed by interviews
with Clifford Soliah, age 93, who currently resides in Fergus Falls,
Minnesota.

Clifford states that in approximately May of 1958 he and his brother
Irvin were farming acreage in southern Otter Tail county of west  central
Minnesota.  On one particular day he entered a farm field only to find
a large rock where there should have been none, since he and his
brother had cleared that field of smaller frost-lifted rocks the previous
week.  Noting its size and strange shape, he picked it up with his front
end loader and delivered it to the front yard where it remained on
display for many years

Clifford retired from farming in 1993, and that is when I came to know
him as his landlord.  He sold the farm and most everything else, but
he would not part with that rock.  He brought it with him to Apt. #12.
One day he told me and other residents about it, and we all came to
see it and were amazed.  How could that rock have been formed.?  Said
one viewer, "you could see anything in that thing".  The local community
college was notified and they sent out naturalists.  They went away
perplexed.  I have a tape of how that conversation went.  We also have
photos of the 140-lb object and could arrange color repros for $5 or so.

If you or your organization is interested, I can tell you that Clifford
just
wants to find a proper home for that rock, and I for my part would like
some logical explanation of how that thing was formed, if that is
possible.  You can contact me,  mailto:[log in to unmask], or talk to
Clifford directly,  218.739.5430  #12.  Thanks.
