I'm not sure if it has been worked by man. Then again I don't know much about artifacts.
I found it in a patch of boulders along the surf line on the Oregon Coast. I just assumed
that it had been worked by the wave action banging it around with the boulders. Years ago,
I found a black jasper point in the same spot and have found several agate/jasper points on
different beaches. Elk, bear and blacktail deer are the big game around here.

I would say that it was worked by man, maybe they killed seal and just made tools on the beach to use. I like walking Oregon beaches.

Compared to You, or rabbits, squirrels and birds?

I'm just messing with ya. They are a pretty small deer. Beautiful, but not big.

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

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)
