Olenellus Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Paleo Friends An Upper Pliocene unnamed Formation was deposited in the Newport Beach area of Orange County, California, containing a rich vein of marine fossils in the sandstone and a few bird fossils in the mix. Because this outcrop was on private property, the club I belonged to, led by a university paleontologist, was allowed to gather what was tentatively identified by the scientist as Pleistocene fossils, but is now considered to be Upper Pliocene, rather than Lower Pleistocene in age. The fossil molluscs, barnacles, and coral in the photo are labeled with the scientific names for each genus with the common name for each entry in parenthesis. ---- Olenellus Olenellus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
