DPS Ammonite Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Here's some unidentified petrified wood from the Berkeley Hills probably from the Mulholland Fm.

FossilDAWG Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm going to guess those invertebrates were collected at the roadcut in Topanga Canyon? I visited that site very briefly, way back around 1988. I started picking up Turritella and a few other mollusks right away, but after only 15 or 20 minutes the police showed up and made me leave. Apparently the city had just passed some ordinance banning "trespassing" on the site, because they were tired of having to clear the road of debris they blamed on erosion due to collectors digging into the outcrop. No signs had been posted yet, but the police were enforcing the ordinance. At least I got a few decent specimens. As far as I know the site is still closed to this day.

Feel free to start separate threads on Jurassic and Pliocene fossils from CA. I'd like to see them. I have some Pliocene fossils as well and have started showing them in the "Show Us Your Fossils Challenge Mode: Ordered by Geologic Time Period!" thread. I don't have any Jurassic fossils from this state but did read about the ichthyosaur rostra finds near Tracy. I don't have Camp (1942) but do have a California Geology article (Dupras, 1988) that cites it within a review of ichthyosaurs in general and their known occurrences in California, Nevada, and Oregon. Camp, C. I. 1942. Ichthyosaur rostra from central California. Journal of Paleontology, v. 16, no. 3, pp. 362-371. Dupras, D. 1988. Ichthyosaurs of California, Nevada, and Oregon. California Geology, v. 41, no. 5, pp. 99-107. (May 1988 issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
