Red hill fossil trip

Recommended Posts

Some finds from the red hill fossil site. Please note this site is closed to the public and you need a permit from the government to collect here. The fossils are super fragile. I have a Hyneria tooth but it’s drying from being glued.

I can’t help you with any IDs there but those are some amazing finds!  :envy:

Nice finds, that tooth is killer and well done to get it out of there without it crumbing to dust! I was up there a few weeks ago with Doug and found a similar one but with a broken tip unfortunately.

Most plant stems are hard to identify (at least from what I have found), but common stems are typically Rhacophyton.
