One of the areas discussed in detail was where I gathered pet wood.

Sometime this week hope to post some photos of pet wood I have from various USA locations to this thread. Will try to include related info on coloration from what I learned in this abstract. Do not have specific locations for some, just the state.

I am constantly amazed at how much elements in the ground/water/air can cause such special colors in fossilized materials.

I really only collect at a few locations here in Oregon. I have a fair bit from the Stinking Water Mountains here in Oregon and I am amazed by the wide variety of colors just from that area. Also Hampton butte has a wide range of colors also, move 10 miles and you get complete different colors! It is truly amazing.

These three pieces all all from Stinking Water, probably

less than 3/4 of a mile from each other. amazing color difference. I got to wondering so I went to google earth and did some measuring, more like 1.2 miles from one to the other. more or less a straight line between them.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
