How To Find 20 Million Year Old Fossils (Easy) #fossils #shorts #oregon

You Have to See This‼️😱 The Oregon coast is one of the best places in the U.S. to find real fossils, agates, and ancient rocks. Fossilized clams, scallops, snails, and even whale bones can be found in coastal formations like the Astoria Formation and Nye Mudstone, dating back 15–30+ million years. Agates form inside volcanic rock when mineral-rich water fills gas bubbles and slowly crystallizes, which is why they often wash up after strong winter surf. Jasper, chert, petrified wood, and fossilized shells are common finds along many Oregon beaches. Many of these formed in ancient ocean environments and were pushed onto land as the coastline changed over millions of years. #learning #education #science #nature
