Beaver Dam Info/ Location
Okay so I finally found a beaver dam after days of searching. From what I can guess the dams spawn at waterfalls most commonly, I'm yet to find other locations considering they spawn where beavers do. But if you look hard enough they'll probably be somewhere obvious.

Here's some screenshots and coords to help you get an idea of where and what they are.

Also it seems each dam is made/spawned by a specific beaver or atleast I think or it either works like beacons and drops do. The dams can get damaged by anything if it gets hit. When I looked in the inventory any nearby beaver started chasing me and they seemed really determined to kill me xD

So pretty much if you see a bunch of beavers near a waterfall or this place don't kill them and overtime one or more of them will make a including mixed amounts (randomized) of the following:

-Wood
-Cementing Paste
-Silica Pearls
-Rare Mushrooms
-Rare Flowers

When you loot the dam they will break and shatter so you'll have to wait for a new one to spawn.

EDIT: Any nearby beaver will attack you if you try loot the dam :(

For those that may be a bit confused on the topic still, I have some information that may help.

For beaver dams, there are a finite amount of locations on the entire map that will work long term for farming. There have to be wild beavers spawning which is almost entirely originating in rivers around the island, and these rivers need to have an unbreakable rock. They will appear to be as normal rocks you would harvest but no matter the angle or tool used it won't be harvested.
Best thing to do is find the beaver spawn areas and then check within a fairly short distance for unbreakable rocks to them build a wall out of stone on top of and move the wild beavers into it with an Argantavis. It's recommended to use windowframe walls to allow easy dam access from all sides.
Also, having searched most of the map I have only come across 3 possible beaver dam farming locations that can be used without spawning in your own beavers. If it's too far from spawn location then the beavers will despawn.
Last little bit, dams will be built while away from the beavers so it's best to find locations away from your base to let them do their thing.
