Hope some experts here (FR) can explain the little holes in the reddish rocks and the grey one above it. Looks like stuff on the beach that the barnacles got at or some of the other sticky guys that dissolve rocks to eat.

"Looks like stuff on the beach that the barnacles got at or some of the other sticky guys that dissolve rocks to eat." Looks like 'pond-scum' to me. I'm expecting anytime now to see a snail like creature to go slinking across the picture.

Probably volcanic stuff...

The little holes are caused by gas bubbles in the molten rock when it was first blasted out of a volcano (or flowed out as in lava). What kind of gas? Most likely H2O. What we really want to see are a lot of rounded rocks like you would find in a stream.
