Plus agates. http://www.oregonfossilguy.com/news-PetrifiedRelax.php Bill Post reply Do you find this valuable?

aubreyreynolds9@gmai	6. RE: Canyanvill Oregon Oct 11 2009, 10:47 PM EDT Most of the area around Canyonville is sedimentary rocks that are known for fossils. If you are interested in collecting fossils here is a link that will give you days of collecting. Check out Douglas County. As you already know the sun stones, thunder eggs, agates and jasper is further west. Crater Lake National Park is only 57 miles from Canyonville. It is one fantastic site.

RE: Canyanvill Oregon Oct 13 2009, 10:16 PM EDT \| Post edited: Oct 14 2009, 6:53 PM EDT Skeeter, Teredo petrified wood can be found on the North Umpqua River, North of Roseburg. Teredo wood is wood that the sea worms bored holes in before it fossilized. Teredo wood appears as brown to black rocks, usually rounded at the ends with a "Swiss cheese" look to them. Fossilized casings from the Teredo marine clam created the pattern when the Teredo, in its larval form, ate its way through chunks of ancient wood. These colonies of small larvae never cross each other's borings, making each piece unique in design and appearance. Other petrified woods are light tan to carbonized black, frequently found in sizes ranging from one inch to two feet across. Look for a dull sheen on wet rocks with parallel wood grain patterns. Softwood species of pines and some hardwoods, including alder, myrtlewood, and oak, as well as petrified palm, Bill Post reply Do you find this valuable?

aubreyreynolds9@gmai	12. RE: Canyanvill Oregon Oct 13 2009, 10:43 PM EDT You are correct. It was a disorientated typo , I had a brain cloud,. One can not go further west without swimming in the Pacific. Skeeter will be traveling through Portland along the coast, That;s why I mentioned a site on the beach.

Many sedimentary rocks on the Oregon coast are full of holes, due to the presence of a boring clam. If you thought all clams were boring, you haven't been to Oregon. Several genus of clam (tridacnea, crocea among them) actually are able to bore into rock. If only we could train them! The Toredo wood is darker in color, and the holes are smaller (8 to 10 mm wide at most). Good luck, Bob Post reply Do you find this valuable?

You learn something every day, Some of the holes have been filled with jasper or agate making the Swiss cheese look spectacular, Hope you find a pile full. Bill Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Bill" I think what he means is that we have boring clams that bore into light grey rock on the coast here and that they could be mistaken for toredo wood. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

" Yes, that's what I meant, Laura, the clams bore rock; the worms, wood. Thanks for the translation! Before this all becomes boring, Bill, some of the toredo wood is filled with both agate and jasper, picture blue and red and green tubes in black rock. The best pieces I've seen were found on the Olympic Peninsula of WA, but more common in OR. Bob Bob Post reply Do you find this valuable?
