Beyond the well-known collecting areas, Oregon is dotted with lesser-known thunderegg beds scattered across counties like Wheeler, Lake, and Deschutes. These outlying sites often produce eggs with distinct character. Some of these locations are remote and challenging to access, while others are tucked into public lands where casual collecting is still allowed. Though not as famous as the beds in Crook or Jefferson County, these spots provide unique material and are favored by collectors seeking variety and untapped potential. Each offers a glimpse into Oregon’s vast and still-unfolding volcanic legacy.
