Noel35 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I found this in the Mojave Desert near the California/Arizona border about a mile or two from the Colorado River. It was amongst some small, smooth river rocks near a flood control channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
