Spectacular rock columns are on display throughout the deserts of eastern Washington. How do these crazy stone pillars form? How old are they?

I have loved columnar basalt ever since a childhood field trip. I will enjoy it even more now that I better understand how it was formed. Thank you!

What if there was a large impact when Frenchman Coulee was Cooling? Shape perhaps recorded an incredible seismic event, and possibly these very shapes inspired polygonal walls?

Are the "tootsie roll" segments as mysterious as the "crinkle cut" variations? Or are the segments produced by a known mechanic, and if so, what is it?

It seems kind of dangerous to climb on the sides or the top of some of those columns. Some don't seem to be well-anchored to the wall. I would be worried about some of the columns falling or tipping over.

@hOurworld11 2 года назад

When the hammer hit the 6 sided column it sounds like dense rock which is to be expected. But when he hit the 5 sided column it sounded hollow. As if lava dries like that. There should be so much more if basalt lava is to blame.

So where is the top layer that magically eroded away, and why did it not form hexagonaly thoughout the hole thing, top to bottom, its more belivable and amazing that they grew like this these are ancient plant cells, look at the center of all the sketches that he showed from all the first geologists, everyone of them has a round center, just like a plants cellular pattern.

@philliphutcheson4219 3 года назад

I’m wondering if the ‘pinch & swell’ columns were nearly solidified and a major seismic event occurred nearby sending shockwaves through the nearly solidified rock creating the ‘pinch & swell’ within. Kind of like an earthquake wave frozen in time.

@TheAbyssalEnderling Год назад

I kind of agree with your hypothesis. An earthquake at the right moment may have resulted in the crinkle cut columns, assuming the basaltic lava was at the right temperature to hold that shape as it finished solidifying. The conditions would've had to be absolutely perfect for this to work. If not, then maybe further erosion over time is the reason for the crinkle cut columnar basalt. I'm leaning more towards further erosion after the columns were exposed.
