whovin Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I searched every body of water on Rockd to see any sedimentary deposits that are near me; there is nothing. Everything is metamorphic, but then I came across Lytle Creek. I wen't on the map on Rockd and checked and it said something about sediment deposits. The info was too confusing; I couldn't find any easier info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntonia Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 @whovin, have patience, many members on the forum are very busy and cannot always be on the forum. That coupled with the vastness of the fossil world and the limited information one person can maintain means it can take time to receive answers. Likely the members who have your answers have not seen this post yet. Wait and good things will come to you. I'm sure someone will be along in the relatively near future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Sorry I can't help you further with your question, but at least now I know what Rockd is. Thanks for mentioning it. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 @whovinPS. I've just done a bit of googling for you and found this which may or may not be of help to you. According to the map, the sedimentary deposits are all either Holocene, Pleistocene, Pliocene or Miocene. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

whovin Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 @Ludwigia thank you, have seen any fossil find reports at the creek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I looked at the Geologic Map of the Devore 7.5’ Quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California. None of the units look promising for fossils. You might take a look at the adjacent maps. Substitute the name Devore in the above map for the name of quadrangle that you want. For example substitute the name Cajon for Devore. 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

caldigger Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I grew up 15 miles from Lytle Creek and spent quite a bit of time there. If there are any sediments that hold fossils it would likely be under a least 100 feet or more of overburden. The creek bed runs the entire width of the valley between the mountains and is constantly adding more alluvial sediments to it all the time. Especially since there were extensive hydraulic gold mining operations conducted in it during the late 19th century. Sorry, but all you are going to find is granitic/metamorphic rocks and course sands the entire length. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 From THIS WEBSITE. CAUTION. INFORMATION IS VERY OLD, AND IS PROBABLY NO LONGER ACCURATE! Start your research here.

califossilhunter Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'm sure about Lytle Creek, but I know the Marble Mountains in San Bernardino County have fossils. https://californiafossils.org/category/county/san-bernardino/ Hope this is helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
