Biggs/ Rufus Oregon
"The unknown I saw looked like a colorful high grade chert or as nappers would say Flint. Notice the conchoidal fracture that looks like a dish. Also note the sharp breaks. I have polished some Abates Flint from the Canadian River breaks in the Texas panhandle. It takes and extremely high polish. Jasper is a catch all term for any opaque cryptocrystalline variety of quartz . So if you prefer you could call it jasper. In the mineral shows the tern jasper is not allowed if the specimen is to be judged for prizes.
Bill" If you explore the site there might be signs of early Native American mining the flint and maybe some artifacts. There will be a lot of chips if it was worked. See Ohio National Directory

"Thanks. Yes Keokuk is a good place and I have been to the Mazon but didn't have much luck. Will try again though. If you think of any other or from here to Florida let me know. I did go to southern Ill last spring but it was after they had the 100 mile an hour winds and there was so much destruction you could not get most places." Cross the Ohio at Cave in Rock Illinois and you will discover the world's finest fluorite museum is in Marion Kentucky. The Ben Clements Museum (google it up) or visit our Great Museums page. They have scheduled field trips. I have found really nice mineral specimens. If you take I 40 through Tennessee stop at the Gray Fossil Museum. Fantastic museum and you can schedule a dig with paleontologist at the site. They recently found a Red Panda fossil. Stay on I40 you will enter Western North Carolina. Gemstone Mecca. Hiddenite NC for emeralds and Franklin for rubies and sapphires. Catch I 95 South to Georgia and stop at Graves Mountain; the most important mineral site in the East. Contact the Georgia Gem and Mineral Society for access. Schedule this stop in advance. Just visit the National Directory on the drop down menu for more detail and many more stops if you take a different route.

Just got back from Ohio. Cold and snowing. No rockhounding just engineering. Bummer, Good food, nice people - the waitresses are a hoot in Youngstown/ , Chatty and humorous. Last week in Maine I was in the heart of the tourmaline district. I found smokey quartz, blue quartz, citrine, amethyst on the beach at Wells Maine.

Adna, Washington ((((No Trespassing???))))
WARNING!!!!!
Do not take any thing on this thread as permission to trespass. KNOW the rockhound's code of ethics and KNOW the law, not just your rights but everyone's. Please refer to the "Washington Forest/ Weyerhaeuser UPDATE"

thread
Sounds suspicious to me. was there a phone number? If it's a creek you should still have the right to walk along it, irregardless of the ownership of the creek-side properties. At least that's what I will always assume no matter what signs are posted. Locals often overstep their rights in when it comes to creeks, trying to block off all access points so they can have their own private playground. It's pathetic. i recently had an issue with the main collecting area on a creek, where technically they couldn't restrict your access to the creek, but they tried to make it look that way with a "private road" through a wilderness, and "no trespassing" signs in the only other access point. Total bs. They even had the nerve to post that you couldn't walk on the gated road, as if it were some kind of military installation. If anyone ever questions my right to be there, they will be in for a world of hurt. When I'd get done with them, their property will be a public park. I can't stand selfish greedy sobs.

Toledo, WA, Salmon Creek, Wilkes Formation,
Pseudo-Coprolites vs Coprolite vs Cololite
So are they Turtle Turds or Not?! Possibly not. Here is what a Paleontologist from Yale University and a Geology teacher at OSU (Ohio) are saying.
Intestinal Casts.
What are your thoughts?
