A trip to the sunken forest at Odiorne Point State Park,Rye, New Hampshire
veenasaur posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I went to visit this kindof hidden sunken/drowned forest in Rye after seeing it on fossilspot. I went a couple of hours before low tide and it took me and my husband about an hour of looking through the rocks to finally spot the trees which were camouflaged very well in the sand and the snails. We spotted a lot of them but most of them were hidden under the seaweed. The roots of different coniferous trees (including white pine and hemlock) are visible at most low tides. Core samples taken from the roots indicate that the trees are about 3,500 - 4,000 years old. What surprised me the most that they look so alive. It’s a neat little spot to find the tree logs and stumps. The spot is called Periwinkle cove and I have marked it on one of the pictures so look through them and enjoy. -

I found this during a low tide walk earlier this week on the bay. I usually find lots of fossil fragments, and sometimes if the sea chooses to be kind to me, I get to take home a top pocket find fossil. On this particular day I did find a complete gastropod mold in addition to this mystery. I’d be interested to hear thoughts on this. In I can’t find anything like it online or in any of my books.
