David Ellingson – “Fossil Dig in Woodburn, OR”
The Willamette Valley at the time of the Ice Age Floods, 18,000 - 15,000 years ago, was backwater for massive floodwaters coming through the Columbia River Gorge multiple times. It was known as temporary Lake Allison for the geologist who first studied it as a lake. David Ellingson, a biologist and paleontologist, teaches paleontology at Woodburn High School in Woodburn Oregon. Here he has led his students in an ongoing dig for many years for fauna and megafauna fossil bones. The dig will continue in the same location starting in early July this summer. David has spoken to our group several times, always bringing fossils for us to view. We look forward to welcoming David in-person & online for a very interesting evening.
