Double-A Yes Mt. Augustus I had in mind. Iron Mt in Atlanta Ga,but
someday we will find a big potato shaped rock in the oceans after all
that is a safe bet. These single rocks have to be meteorites They are to
big to come from volcanoes. Bert

I think you mean Stone Mountain in Atlanta, Georgia. Which is granite.
Not iron. I've walked up it often.

from wikipedia:

"Stone Mountain is one of the the world's largest exposed pieces of granite,
after El Capitan in Yosemite National Park and Stawamus Chief in British
Columbia, and one of the largest monoliths in the world, behind Mount
Augustus in Australia and Peña_de_Bernal in Mexico."

Needless to say, this is not a meteorite, and it's not volcanic.

Stone Mountain is more-or-less the Big Toe of the Appalachian Mountains,
specifically the Blue Ridge mountains.

The Appalachian Mountains being some of the oldest on Earth, 680 million
years old, almost worn down to nubs.

Compared to the Himalayas, some of the youngest mountains on Earth, formed
in the last 50 million years, and a lot of activity in the last million
years and even the last 30,000 years.
