This rock is an example of granite S associated with pegmatite K on the beach in
Nissequoque on Long Island's north shore. There
are deep cracks which in a subglacial environment should promote breakage of
this boulder into pieces. The low
roundness and large size suggest that this rock traveled a very short distance.
