While scanning through some postings on Facebook I came across a photo of something similar to mine. I have a slab of green moss from a Thunderegg that I wasn't sure where it was from. They labeled their photo as Desolation Canyon Thunderegg. Would anyone agree? Bob

Tony, All I have is this and one other slab. The outside looks like ordinary Oregon thunderegg. Bob

I got some desolation canyon eggs from Judy Elkins, I know what the outside looks like, but didn't get to cut very many to see the inside. They had a distinctive outside bubbly and kind of greenish. I don't know if there were several beds there or not, if there were they might have different outsides. Jason will know if he sees this thread.

I think that this is either what they call an "Ochoco Thunderegg"from Oregon or a "McDermitt thunderegg" from the Oregon/Nevada border area - though the mint green moss looks like "Ochoco agate", which I *think* is sometimes just the agate from inside of t-eggs found there. Desolation Canyon t-eggs have a sorta swirly dark greenish and brown matrix/rind. This one has a a solid brown rind more consistent with a lot of the eggs found in east-central Oregon. The whitish chalcedony/quartz and waterlines look like a Succor Creek egg but those have a greyish rind. The bit of red banding kinda says McDermitt to me, too, and I reckon that would be my first guess. ....Or maybe a "Fred's Bed" thunderegg(?)
