Howdy Folks, Here's some pictures of another one of my finds from the beaches of Lincoln County, Oregon. This was found many years ago in the beach gravel laying on top of the Oligocene Nye Mudstone. I don't think it is that old. It doesn't seem as solid and well preserved as some of the other teeth and bones that I have found in the area. Anyway, I just thought I would post a few pics for your entertainment. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You

Hi found this vertabra on a beach near Los Angeles. Even though it is not a fossil I was wondering if anyone can ID it for me, I was thinking dolphin or porpoise but I’m not 100% sure. Thanks

Hi all - I did not have time in January when I normally write these up, but thanks to Covid quarantine I managed to get some time last month and write up a comprehensive review on my blog of every single 2019 paper in marine mammal paleontology. Enjoy! https://coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2020/05/2019-in-review-advances-in-marine.html

Greetings, fossil folks. After posting an ID question the other day, and getting all excellent responses, I figured I had done my single"drive-by" post, as I just don't have any other fossil material to share. Then I flashed on a fossil that has been residing in the same place, my mom's walkway, for what may amount to a mere 1/500,000 of its life, or approximately 50 years. My folks bought their house back in the early 1970's. I was 15 or 16 at the time. The hardscaping was done with a lot of flagstone. Exposed on the surface of one slab, was a tooth of some sort, with more than 1/2 of its enamel intact. I recently showed it to my girlfriend, who thought it was pretty cool, and wondered why nobody had liberated it from the flagstone. I guess nobody had ever really thought about it. Anyway, I'm curious as to what type of creature it may have been from. My GF was thinking shark, but I have always thought it must be something else, as it looks rather canine to me, and doesn't seem to have any serrations on the edges like shark's teeth I've seen. That said, the base does seem more shark-like. So, my friends, what is it? Many thanks in advance for your help. My apologies for not including a scale reference in the image, but the length is ~30mm and the width of the base is ~27mm. I hope that helps. BTW, if folks here think it's worth saving, please offer advice on what to do to preserve it. Cheers.

Hello everybody! Just did my first dig in Bakersfield California. Found some cool shark teeth & a sea lion tooth. I'm addicted now & looking for new places & faces to hunt & explore with. Below is the pic of my favorite finds from the weekend. Feel free to chime in on species.

Anyone know what these various teeth are from? I think the big one is Allodesmus but the rest I'm not sure about. Collected over the last few years at Ernst Quarries in Bakersfield.

Hey Hi Folks, I Found this bone at Sharktooth hill this spring. It has been hiding in one of the buckets of matrix that I collected. Is it a Sea Lion femur? Is it possible to tell which critter it came from? Thanks for the help!! Tony More pictures coming...

This is a sea lion skull I was lucky enough to find last Friday (June 7th) at the Ernst Quarry's in Bakersfield. It is from the round mountain silt of middle Miocene age. I am wondering what the species is, maybe it could be Alledesus or Neotherium but don't know how to tell. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!
