Scallop
Patino-/Verti-pectin Miocene Astoria or Nye Formation Lincoln County OR USA Often found in single-shell concretions that are split along the longitudinal plane. Sometimes find shell pairs. Available as mold-cast singles or matrix-removed doubles. |
Petrified Wood
Eocene John Day or Clarno Formation Wheeler County OR USA Assorted pieces of well-silicated or opalized petrified woods - generally evergreens, with occassional hardwoods. Collected on Richardson's Rock Ranch in the Madras area of Central Oregon. |
Alligator Scute
Pliestocene DeSoto and County FL USA Collected on public sites along Florida's Gulf Coast; assorted colors, sizes and shapes. Well-preserved, matrix-free. |
Dawn Redwood
Metasequoia Eocene Clarno Formation Wheeler County OR USA Proposed to become Oregon's State Fossil, the Metasequoia was thought to be extinct until discovered during WWII in China. Now being grown by major arboretums and used for traffic median landscaping in smog-laden cities. |
Looking for insect-laden amber; any size or quality. Not seeking gem-grade quality. Seeking any deep-impression leaf or plant fossils; prefer hard-carbon materials and open to concretions containing plant material. A great example of fossils you just can't find easily in Oregon and in need for the museum development collection. Have access to excellent prep-person, so plates and crinoids in matrix are welcome. Not to play a repeat recording, but we don't find these in Oregon either. Nautilus - yes. . .great to have variety of sizes, shapes and conditions of ammonites to complement the collection.

| Fossil-collecting and sharing are my form of "golf" or "jogging". Beach walks along Oregon shorelines and long walks in the Cascades of Central Oregon provide a wide range of legally-acquired fossils 5-30 million years old.I'm always seeking trade stock to complement the younger fossil material we find here. The plan is to donate the entire collection to a natural history museum in the future.Presently do public presentations and beach fossil tours for schools, service groups and the media; strong advocate for declaring the Metasequoia as Oregon's State Fossil.
