Phallic Rock

Phallic Rock

Phallic Rock also commonly known as Cock Rock is a precambrian granite rock formation in Carefree, Arizona, United States. The formation is caused by spheroidal weathering whereby the composition of the granite and its crystal structure facilitated the development of rounded corners and its unique tubular shape. [ [http://www.blkmtnconservancy.org/geology2.html Black Mountain Conservancy Geology Article] , www.blkmtnconservancy.org, ©2000 Stephanie Bradley (accessed 28 February, 2007) ] The formation is at the eastern foot of Black Mountain and can be found approximately 400 feet east of Tom Darlington Drive on Stagecoach Pass Road. The formation is best viewed from the western side looking east. There is a dirt pull-off on the side of Stagecoach Pass Road with enough room for several vehicles. The exact coordinates for the formation are coor dms|33|48|48.98|N|111|55|27.15|W|city (33.813606, -111.924208).
