Wow, strange E-bay auction

Material: Appears to be gopher wood

Description: I recently purchased a small parcel of land on Mount Ararat and found the remains of an old building or boat. It looks like there could have been several stories, over 135 meters long from what I can tell, and about 20 meters wide. Looks very old. Found next to several large piles of fossilized animal dung. Buyer may find this item useful for firewood. I'd like to use the space for other purposes so I need to have it removed. You haul away.

I saw this on the history channel. They had photo's from space and they were wondering what it was. This land is protected and you cant go there right now. They received the permits that they needed to go there to examine it and they found out that it was just a rock formation.

I was just now unable to find it. Has it already been pulled?

Located in Turkey.

Funny how it took them a while to figure out it was a rock formation. Am I mistaken or is there a similarly shaped formation in the background?

John et. al., I was kidding. I made this up. It isn't really on ebay.

Never take me too seriously!

After being linked to a used dog tampon ebay auction once, I don't discount anything immediately anymore.

Hmmmm. Now that I look at the photo, my latent geological interest is kicking in... Looks like an eroded anticline. Sometimes this is caused by gypsum/salt [not just halite...] deposits (salt domes) being pushed up from beneath by tectonic pressures. The salt/gypsum dissolves quickly, especially after the uplift causes cracks in the overlying rock layers, then it dissolves and all you have left are the ridges of the anticline outlining the original uplift - in effect, sort of a 'popped' rock 'bubble' - if you consider that it takes [approximately, depending on the size and tenacity of the overlying rock layers...] a couple million years to dissolve the center...

makes some neat rock formations... check out "upheaval dome, utah" on GoogleEarth if you want to see an excellent example - although they're still debating the origins of that formation. Some think it may be an impact crater... Zid

PS also check out the San Rafael reef in Utah - lots of 'sharks' teeth' erosional formations!!
