cavemanfl Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hit another creek in bone valley today. The high water is paying off... a creek bank eroded and left a treasure trove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I think that the two big objects at the top could be mammoth teeth. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 WOW! Some lovely mammoth teeth! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The dugong ribs wouldn't have moved the needle for me but such a beautifully colored Colombian Mammoth tooth would have made my trip/day/week/month/year. Consider entering this in the Fossil of the Month (FOTM) contest--it's a beaut! Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
