I found this fossil on my property at top of Laurelas Grade in Hidden Hills off Carmel Valley Rd. state of Calif. It appears to be some kind of fish. Can anyone give any more information on what this could be? Entire size of rock is approx 6" wide. I have found lots of mollusk type fossils but never a fish. thanks kathleen

Found this today, which I think is a fossil of leaves? Thanks! Location: Monterey Formation shale, Monterey County, California (Miocene) Outside of Carmel Valley, near Garland Ranch, among pea crabs (Pinnixa sp.) Description: About an inch and a half in length (I could get exact measurements). It looks like they have a complete margin(?) with a central midrib and veins that alternate. From a single split, so, positive and negative sides.

As I live relatively close to Carmel Valley, I have recently been researching into collecting fossils there, especially the Pinnixa pea crabs.The main collecting information I have heard from several different sources is to “Collect along Carmel Valley road road cuts and the surround road cuts. Look for the whitish shale and collect there.” However, I am concerned about the legality of this. Even though many people have gone collecting there, I believe the road to be public land, and California’s laws say that no collecting is allowed on public land. I know that in some fossiliferous areas in the US there are exceptions to this rule (such as Millard Country Utah,) and want to make sure it is legal to collect there before I go. If it is illegal to collect along there, I would appreciate any legal sites/ private land owners to contact, if some members would be willing to share them. (Of course, over PM unless it is already a very well known site, such as the Carmel Valley road road cuts.)

Hi! I did search for pea crabs from Carmel Valley and did not find any topics on The Fossil Forum. So, I decided to fill the gap with few links hoping that others will also share the experience.
