The original article in the Hunterdon County Democrat has disappeared. The quote is all I have. However, the facts are (from my notes) that a creek near Quakertown, New Jersey, (West of NYC, toward the PA stateline) had a large rock with an unusual ground depression in it. The locals (mentioned in the quote) believed it to be a bedrock motar and got some confirmation of their hunch from local University researchers. Because the area where it was found was described as pretty heavily trafficed, and the news accounts of similar motars being stolen (see previous Portal listed news items from California,) a decision was made with the property owner to remove the 600 lb. rock to a public location with more oversight. They wrestled the stone out of the creek and took it to a farm market (Peterson Farm) in Quakertown, where it can be seen during opening hours. The lat/long location is for the address of the farm. They have plans to display the rock with mortar at the township firehouse eventually.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
