spiderweb rock
A local term in Ohio for sandstone beds that show crossbedding on a small scale, which is complicated by intricate interlacing of fine-bedding planes. Frequently seen in sawed 3033 stones, esp. where the lamination is slightly oblique or irregular. It is very like the grain of wood that shows in a planed board.
