Big Rock Interchange
The Big Rock Interchange is the I-430/ I-630/Chenal Parkway interchange in west Little Rock, Arkansas. The name is derived from a large rock formation discovered during expansion. The interchange was originally constructed in 1977, then in the mid-2000s it was decided to expand the interchange in an attempt to alleviate congestion. In 2011 an outcropping of Pennsylvanian Jackfork Formation sandstone and surrounding shale was discovered in the southeast quadrant of the project. The formation was estimated to weigh about 5 million pounds. Due to the size and hardness of the sandstone it was decided to leave the unique and distinctive formation in place as a landmark, rather than use explosives or some other method to try to remove it, and it was dubbed "The Big Rock". When the original I-430 and I-630 interchange was constructed, about 14,000 vehicles a day traveled down each Interstate, and I-630 ended at a traffic signal at Shackleford Road.

Glen Rock (boulder)
The Glen Rock is a 570-ton boulder located in Glen Rock, New Jersey, Glen Rock, New Jersey, United States. The boulder, which is the namesake of the town in which it is located, is the largest glacial erratic found atop Triassic bedrock in the state of New Jersey. The exact origin of the rock is uncertain, though studies alternatively place its origin in New York State's Hudson Highlands and the New Jersey Highlands. The Glen Rock, which is composed of gneiss, is located in the center of a former glacial lake. The cultural history of the Glen Rock predates the settlement of New Jersey by European colonists. The Lenape, who referred to the boulder as ''Pamackapuka'', used the rock as a trail marker, a location to build signal fires, and as a throne for chiefs used when presiding over meetings. Later, beginning in colonial times, European settlers to the region used the rock as a landmark on trails and as a marker for land deeds. The Glen Rock, which had been largely submerged u ...
