Two zeolite localities that are found only 100 meters apart in the Shotgun Creek drainage system are near the crest of a hill which divides Lane with Linn Counties, therefore, each site is in a different county. The one in the Lane County is composed of highly altered Eocene basalt with pockets of coarse mesolite needles. Dan Lorimor and Boyd Care found the site in the earily 1960's. At that time the finest specimen of mesolite found in Oregon was exposed in the bank of the Weyerhaeuser logging road. Other specimens were found in boulders from the roadcut and from digging in the soil in the roadcut in 1972 by Rudy Tschernich. This site is now lost. Second growth trees have been logged and new roads were made without exposing this old road.
