Lincoln Creek Formation shells

Postby Rain1950 on Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:33 pm

Feb 16, I took the grandson (9) on his first trip to collect. He's a natural.

I've prepped a few so far

The long thin one id Dentalium; others yet to be ID'd. Dentalium; Tusk Shells date back to Devonian and still exist today. The NW Native Tribes used the as currency. Today they are very popular for beadwork

The last (2) are yet unknown. The pic with the multiple shells is a rare occurance. If you look closely at the end of the complete shell; there is a 3rd very small snail type shell.

March 15, we head north to another site. May have the younger grandson (6) this time too.
