 "The fellow who discovered the cavity accidently fell into the hole while walking down the creek bank. After his broken leg healed, he returned with a helper and excavated the pocket. It began at creek level and extended 18 feet below the normal stream water level." -regarding the origin of these specimens, from ex State Geologist Mike Howard
