caldigger Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) There was one member I remember from there (Kkoz) that was finding shark teeth. I used to live in Ocean Beach for several years and would have loved to know there were fossils around. Scroll down the topics list and there is a section on localities. Click on California and find areas in your surroundings for places to hunt. Edited April 13, 2016 by caldigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This Website has some information, but, that info is very old. Some sites may be gone, built over, overgrown, or no longer accessible for various reasons. It is a good place to start your research, though. You need to gain permission to hunt on private property. Hope it helps. Regards, 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

siteseer Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 San Diego used to be a great area to look for fossils. In the 50's kids could find shark teeth in exposures just around their neighborhoods but then everything started to get built on and also landscaped over. I would join a local fossil club and/or the Southern California Paleontological Society (based in Los Angeles). The SCPS has monthly field trips and newsletter. If you go on the trips, get to know other members and see what they know about San Diego. If they don't know a site, they might know one to research. Does anyone know any good places to go fossil hunting in San Diego? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
