Fox will defecate on top of prominent field rocks with such predictabilty that you can walk into a field you have never been in before and, if the conditions are right, point to a location and tell your companions that fox scat will be found on top -- a kind of field sports parlor trick.
This rock was unusual in that it was tucked inside the forest edge, which would not usually give it much prominence, but since it's bright white quartzite and stands out rather dramatically against the forest green, and is also very close to a field corner, it seems to have met all the requirements as a vulpine boundary stone.
