The further they go the bigger they get. I have seen them in the river breaks, in sharp steep cuts, right in the bottom. I was rolling one down to the boat one time, and it got going so fast I could not keep up with. I did see it launch into the Missouri river though. It was about basket ball size or just over. I very rarely see concretions around Glendive except for the ones full of oysters and ammonites. Maybe that is what you meant.

In the last month, I've seen two around 12" concretions sell for well over $100.00 each, in two different auctions. I think your concretion would sell well too. Keith

Thanks for the Concretion Hoodoo picture I've never seen one quite like it before and have spent the majority of my life in eastern Montana. You're friend along the snare line . Allan
