FossilForKids Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I may have posted some of these years ago but here are four nice specimens from Bakersfield not the Ernst quarries and Harts park area. The make is a hair over 3 inches and very wide, the plants comes from the " fire zone" area of Harts park, the cow shark tooth is nice and clean and the Juvenile Desmostylus was from my last Ernst quarry digs. Most of my collection is back in Texas but I have these and a few others with me. If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilForKids Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 That is a Desmostylus juvenile molar. It was basically a sea going hippo. If only my teeth are so prized a million years from now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Coco, this is a Desmostylus tooth, a semi aquatic hippo-like creature that is only found along the coastal regions of the Pacific Ocean. Well I guess I type too slow, others beat me to it.

siteseer Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi Coco, Desmostylus is also a very rare find in the bonebed, especially a complete one. In twenty years of digging, I found only a piece of a tooth - still have that because it is so rare. Jess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
