The rock is argillite believed to be 600 million years old and originally part of the sea-floor. It is also the only rock of its type outside of Canada. - this 40 TON rock FLOATED from Canada into the Willamette Valley - that means the entire valley you can see out in front of the boy was filled with water and icebergs - the boy did not float with it
