[Rockhounds] Beloved Beach Arch in Newport Crumbles, Leaving Oregon Coast With Bit of Geologic Mystery

[Tim Fisher]

I have seen that many times, Starfish Cove is one of our favorite fossil
hunting places. Knowing a bit about the geology I don't think it's all that
mysterious. There were several episodes of the Snake River basalt flows
reaching the Oregon Coast so I don't know why they wouldn't be interweaved
in places. A good size stack of the marine formation just to the north
collapsed years ago, right onto the best fossil crab site on the central
Oregon coast ☹
