Cool finds?
Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2014 3:31 pmI found these petrified bones last week down on the river. I have no idea what they're from, but they're definitely old!
Kinda neat...

Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2014 3:37 pmDamn that's really cool... Doesn't it take thousands of years to petrify something?

yes it does Flint. Very cool find! take it to a lab and see if they can figure out what it is!
ETA: the bone on the left looks to be a mammalian sacral vertebra to me.

I took another pic to help with size reference...
I have no idea about the sizes of various mammoth/mastodon bones, but that wouldn't be too uncommon for the area.
I know a guy who found an entire intact tusk down there. Now THAT is cool!
He got big money for it from a local museum too!
I did get to see a big mammoth vertebrae once and it was almost the size of a 1 pound coffee can.

Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2014 10:22 pmPossibly a mammoth, quite a few bones have been found along the river. I know a guy who also found a mastodon skull along the Wakarusa. Lots of cool shit can turn up on the river.

Sandy bank of the Columbia River. I have access to about 1.5 miles of it out my back door.

Just renting on a narrow 1 acre waterfront piece, but it gives me walk-in access to the aforementioned beach that would otherwise only be reachable by boat. It's great for running/swimming the dog and I've been turning up a few arrowheads, lately.
