Matrix? Oops

When I buy them they do sometimes have some matrix attached but most is already removed. I do have a few makos in matrix from there.

Ironically, it seems since I live and have collected fossils in the west for over 40 years, just about all my specimens are considered "west coast fossils"

This little deep water fish ( Cyclothone ), even has the organic light organs ( photophores ) preserved. The small dots along the ventral caudle area

It's about time to resurrect this interesting thread.

Anybody?

Here's a common trace fossil, Thalassinoides, found in an uncommon environment, Miocene lake sediments from the Berkeley Hills.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Yes, I would say those are Sharktooth Hill Bonebed teeth. You can find teeth with swirls of color like that and those "caramel tips" at the locality known as "the west quarry" or "the west side." I dug up my own once - a small one - and bought a larger one when I had the chance.

That purple color is an unusual color from the layer. I know a lot of collectors prefer the orange-red teeth but teeth with a lot of blue in them are hard to find too.

That general area.

Thx. :)

Awesome clam and jaw bone specimens! I think the fossils are under 2 million years old as the Scotia Bluffs were deposited during the Pleistocene epoch. I found this article on the Bluffs.
