So I am driving on RT. 47 which leads to Vernonia and Mist, Oregon and a road cut that looks very similar to the Keasey locations I have been picking talus and for the first time it appears dry (seems to be a seep at the the top). In Oregon unless on private or in special circumstances BLM land you can not dig, you have to surface troll. I found a safe parking space and then crossed the road to enter the ditch. Once again close to traffic but people on this somewhat used road either slowed or pulled over, except for the truck who stopped and gave me directions to "a secret" place:), now that's cool. I had stopped here during winter but it was really wet and I left after finding a mollusc taking an image so I had the GPS. This day it was very different quite a few concretions had fallen out of the formation. These are very, very had carbonate concretions. So I decided to pickup 3 or 4 and see what I could find. There are lots of sociological items on this piece. However the object of interest in the focus of these images. I have an assumption (I'll post mine after a day or two) of what this is due to the formation (if I am right and the location of this outcrop in relationship to Vernonia and Mist, Oregon). That being said what is your best guess?
