South Yamhill River float trip August 4, 2014.  Mike Full hosted Richard Kimbell and Debbie Shannon for a full day of fossil hunting and river floating.  Richard found 2 bones and an artifact, Mike found a nice piece of ivory.  Debbie found a possible mastodon rib.  Great day!  Here is underwater video on excavating the rib:

David Ellingson allowed NARG members to sift for fossils at the Woodburn site

October 5, 2013

NARG members fossil hunting at the Woodburn site:

For a unique perspective on the dig,

we did a timelapse of part of our day:

We couldn’t screen for bones due to not having the correct water wrench.

We sifted the soil in our hands to save what bones we could find from being lost.

We did find two bones. Debbie Jackson found a frog femur.

Richard Kimbell found a small broken non-diagnostic bone.

*

North America Research Group wishes to thank David Ellingson

as well as Woodburn High School for this opportunity.

We are already wanting to come back next year.
