Rowids are letters? I though they were numbers

I have just created a DB, after a two year break from Oracle. Lot's of new things going on, eh? I set the block size to 16K. Created a table with the first extent at 200MB. And imported 3Mil rows.

The rowid's for this table look like

AAAAeEAAHAAADIIAAA
AAAAeEAAHAAADIIAAB
AAAAeEAAHAAADIIAAC
AAAAeEAAHAAADIIAAD

I thought they should look like

00000DD5.0000.0001
00000DD5.0001.0001
00000DD5.0002.0001
00000DD5.0003.0001

I don't care how they loo. I Question: if rowid's should look like this, how do I tell the file, block and row?

thanks - gene
