I don’t recall, but suspect it was probably 8,000 - 10,000 years ago at the end of the ice age.

I’ve got a “crude” aboriginal tool. It’s a rock. From the looks of it, it was used to bash clams.

A sea otter will float on its back with a rock on its abdomen, and smash clams on it.
You may have that rock.

It’s a cool rock. Opalized wood...oak, I’d say. It caught my attention for that reason. Only later did I notice the wear patterns of fingers and the chipped striking surface. Still has millennia of clam cracking potential left.

Oh...this is for real....very interesting.
I have a piece of petrified rock picked up out West in 1958 when it was still legal, plus obsidian, fool’s gold, azurite, & anything else a 9 year old kid could find on the ground.
