makoken Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Nice! Have you found any bird bones? No , nobird bones. Mostly marine mammals. Sea lion, dolphin, and whale. I did find a bird claw core on my trip to the peace river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 No , no bird bones. Mostly marine mammals. Sea lion, dolphin, and whale. I did find a bird claw core on my trip to the peace river. I ask because they are known from STH, and the site is not represented (yet) in my collection. Keep your eyes open!

Auspex Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I will do that. I have heard of bird fossils in the listed fauna of the buena vista musuems list. Miocene birds in general are badly underrepresented in my collection; heck, I have more Cretaceous material (definitely a thorn in my side)!

It is getting harder with the amount of overburden to clear, but always worht it. Makoken - or anyone... My fiancee and I are driving thru Bakersfield next Wed (Nov 26) and I wanted to show her Sharktooth Hill. We just want to hike around for @ an hour and show her where my father and I camped some 25+ years ago. We won't be doing any formal digging or prospecting (but hope to find a tooth or something while walking). I just want to share a bit of my childhood with her. Can you offer any info as to how I can find it again - or anything else? Thanks! DiverDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ernst, who sadly has passed away, owned 410 acres adjacent to the original STH is now in probate. The area I hunt is across from the California Living Museum. The address is 10500 Alfrd Harrell Hwy. You can see the military type trenches showing the diggings. Good luck !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
