Bone valley creek finds

Hit another creek in bone valley today. The high water is paying off... a creek bank eroded and left a treasure trove.

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!

WOW! Some lovely mammoth teeth!

Happy hunting,

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.

Hahaha after I found I got my hands on the mammoth teeth I called it a day. I ended it on a high note.  My best bone valley find.

Excellent, and twice as sweet finding it this time of the year when hunting is so difficult.  Congrats

Ugh now I REALLY want to get out! :envy:

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
