Paleome posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board

Its been awhile. Ran over to the big sand pit for a few the other day and came up with these certs and one other. Fell from on high so really tough to see what layer they came from.

This is a wonderful forum and I am pleased to find it. I have a fossil that needs to be ID'd. I found it in Philo, CA in Mendocino County, USA There were very large rock cliffs full of rocks near the Navarro River. It looks like a tail bone of a tiny creature. And maybe a skull? It is egg shaped. What caught my eye was the consecutive dashed. Not sure it if it is a tail. Thank you for your efforts ladies and gentlemen. Regards, Ted

Found in Scotts Valley, CA many years ago, I came across this piece. It was covered in Sandstone which I laboriously brushed and picked at for a few days. The pointy areas are sharp and brownish in color, symmetrical and extremely hard to pick at. Also the middle is brown, and the underside has a strange texture... It feels and sounds somewhat like porcelain. after brushing and picking the sides and the bottom you can see a thin brown (yet small) hard piece jutting out. My amateur instincts think it looks like a track of some sort, but hey I really won't be surprised if it turns out to

Strange fossil - this fossil has it all.... white solid bone (lick test>?), hardened brown non-rock like material (told possible brain encasing?), all encased in sandstone, hardened sand, and brownish marrow like substance. When I first came across this (along with many other from Scotts Valley, CA - approx. 40-50 years ago found by my father in a ravine) Ive been attempting to uncover it (it was a large blank piece of sandstone). probably not the smartest thing to do but this one came easy (or shall I say easier) that the many others. I have several more pics if interested, but could

My father was a fossil hunter and left me the bulk of them. He and a friend, who owned the property where they were found, collected over the years (50 years or so) - I went with them twice when I was young. The identification logs were not found - I believe they were destroyed in a flood. I've cleaned a few of them by brushing and picking from recall of his work.. This is just one of many, I will send two more picks that may help. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me. download.html

I have several other pieces but just sending the larger ones as to not take up your time. Thank you I am sending more pictures from different angles

I will be in Palo Alto CA this week and will have the afternoon on Tuesday to hunt fossils. I would love to find some nice sand dollars and shark teeth. If I find enough I will put some in an auction to support the forum. Any good suggestions? Thank you
