FOSSIL BONES OF ZEBRAS, BEAVER, OTTER, PELICANS AND OTHER WATER BIRDS ARE FOUND IN SEDIMENTS LEFT FROM A 3,400,000 YEAR OLD POND ON THE BLUFF ACROSS THE RIVER. Lava flows, pouring out over the plains on this side, met and dammed up sedimentarty deposits washed in on the otherside, making lakes and swamps. Here the river divides these two important geologic settings, formed at the time when the climate was wetter, and the plains were tree-dotted grasslands where zebra-like horses used to graze.
