I am new around here but thought I’d share a few of our humble finds. Nothing museum worthy here but very interesting for us nevertheless. These are from the Sunland area. They come from part of the Topanga Canyon Formation. We were fortunate to have someone show us the site and give us some information. My son is 8 and I am hoping this will be the first of many trips. I can’t identify them so you’ll have to make your own determination there. I like the one with the scallop embedded in the clam.
