Weird mineral soup?

The other day, some friends and I were hiking through the woods and we came along a big pool of clayish looking mud. It looked to be dried, but my friend through a rock into it, and when the rock splashed, it created a flower looking splash which immediately dried and stuck. No matter how big the splash was, it froze. There was a construction site near by. Any idea what could have caused this?

not at all, there used to be a few sites like that next to a constuction site for condos when I lived in Canada, and it does exactly what he describes :)

 

although it doesn`t actualy DRY or FREEZE per se, it`s that fine a "Mud" that if you throw a stone in it, the "Splash" will stay there!

 

often the surface has a skin about 4 to 6 inches thick and is quite liquid under it (very pleasant to walk through bare foot also).
