JBMugu Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi everybody, I recently leased a piece of land that contains the round mountain silt formation (shark tooth hill). Part of the deal with the landowners was to donate a portion of the finds to museums or schools. Does anyone know of any institutions that would be interested in accepting sharks teeth and other fossils? I would need a formal letter of acceptance to provide documentation. Please let me know, thanks Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 @Boesse should be able to help with this. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'll drop you a PM. Hope you are enjoying your "claim" at Shark Tooth Hill. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi! Sent you a PM; I work at a small museum with extensive displays of fossil marine vertebrates, including some Round Mountain Silt specimens, and I specialize in the study of fossil marine mammals. I've made some other suggestions, but our museum - albeit on the east coast - would happily receive such specimens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The Smithsonian museum in Balboa Park, San Diego would love those specimens. They only have a small amount of specimens from Bakersfield (two megs) and would love to have anything rare/uncommon. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi Jesse, Yeah, Boesse would know the types of fossils a museum would want. You can contact an elementary, middle, or high school to see if they could use some of the more common fossils for their science classes. I assume they would.
