I have modified our trip to Eastern Oregon to focus on searching for ammonites. Time will prevent us from visiting the obvious places in the national monument but on this trip I want to be more “hands on.” . We’ll stay at Delintment Lake and hunt wherever we can in the general vicinity.  We’ll spend more time checking out the area between Suplee and Izee where we hope to become familiar with rock formations unique to the region, and to look for fossils and minerals where we can.

I am really sorry that more posts aren’t made to this site.  It’s a great resource and I hope we can stimulate more interest in this forum!

My wife Mare and I are headed to Eastern Oregon this month for a scouting/collecting trip.  We’ll be visiting the Fossil, Oregon and John Day country, including the Condon Paleontology Center and the monument units.  Then we plan to head down to Izee to look for ammonites.  Delintment Lake ammonites are also on our list.  We’ll be sure to document the trip and post our finds.

Greetings to all from Oregon.  I found this website quite by chance, and hope that it can be a valuable place to meet and share knowledge, information about finds and locales, and general fellowship!
