A hole in a boulder had been filled with progressively larger rocks. This caused the smaller rocks to the right appear almost to be the tail of a comet.

Three holes had been worn into the top of this boulder in Brice Creek. Had it not been natural, it could have been part of some ancient game of skill.

A rock in a hole in a boulder in Brice Creek looked like soap in a bed of pine needles as part of some natural spa treatment.
