Explored a New Site!

Hi all, I went to visit a new site yesterday that I had found mentioned in some literature from the early 1900s. It was a great day no doubt, and I was hoping to get some input on a few things. 
 

Stubby tooth I believe is a horse, but I’m not as sure about the long thin one, never found one quite like it. My largest piece is a camel(?) calcaneus and the small collection of toe bones were from a 1’ x 1’ area- all associated from the same animal I assume. They look camel to me, but much smaller than any I’ve ever found before. Any ideas? As best I can tell the formation was dated to 10-30myo but I cannot find much else in literature. 
 

thanks as always for the wisdom! :)

Hi,

 

Looking for sites from old documents is a very good start, and few "new" ones on TFF are interested. What a joy to find yourself a site to dig and find its first fossils without any help from anyone !

 

I also think it is a horse, at least for the first fossil presented.

Thank you Coco! You’re right, it’s a great feeling to do the research and go out in the field and make it all connect.

Excellent work.  And fun fossils.  Yes, doing this sort of research and having it pay of is always  satisfying.
