PaulL Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I am a new member and total fossil neophyte and am hoping that someone can help ID what I found while at the Mexican/CA border . Location: San Diego County, CA Site Description: At the side of a graded dirt road. Size: approx. 12cm Comments: This first looked like a concretion of some type but there are configurations that could indicate fossils? 1) The first is the embedded oval shape (Is this just a "rock" within the concretion?) [Images 1 - 3] 2) The second configuration appears to be a vertebrae? [Images 4 - 6 appear in 2nd post] I look forward to your comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 There is a cast of a (snail?) shell in the first picture. This is just the inside and the shell is gone. The rest of the pictures look like concretions with suggestive shapes, but not seeing anything biologic there. 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...
