Suprise Find

Recommended Posts

I took a little drive to find a promising site for a future hunt in a upper eocene area. Not having any luck I decided to Get out and walk along the road and search the drainage ditch. At first I walked right by this rock thinking the two marks I could see {because It was coverd in mud} were from old road construction. But than I relized the coler was wrong to be scrapes. And turns out to be some sort of branch impressions. post-4158-031350500 1288042934_thumb.jpgnot the greatest find but i like it.

I also found some 2 to 3 inch woods. I was also suprised to find this opal encrusted rock.post-4158-099412900 1288043528_thumb.jpg Cant wait to go back!

I love the opal in the rock. I didn't realize Oregon had native opal...

You are very fortunate

Very pretty. Oregon has all sorts of cool stuff to check out!

Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside!
