4 years, 9 months ago4 years, 9 months agoHi, @jerry-hughes – Did you need some help identifying these fossils? Can you narrow down the location any further than San Diego? That could give us some more information on the geological context.

5 years, 4 months ago5 years, 4 months agoHi @jerry-hughes can you give us some more info on the tooth? Where did you find it? etc. Thanks!

Thanks all, for your help. The fossils were found in the southern California desert. Other fossils that have been found in this area are anywhere from 4 to 6 m.y.o. so, I’m guessing these teeth are from that time period too. The teeth were deposited on what was the “guts” of the Grand Canyon and the common thought is that they were deposited…[Read more]

5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agohi @jerry-hughes i can’t decide if this is a barnacle or tooth. could you provide a picture of the top of the fossil. if it were a tooth then the occlusal end, but if a barnacle, then it would be the opening. Thanks!

7 years, 3 months ago7 years, 3 months agoHi Jerry @jerry-hughes, I don’t think it’s a tooth. From the first photo, my gut reaction was that it was a piece of slag because it appears to have a metallic luster. However, the lineations on the other photos made me second guess myself. If it is a fossil, I’m thinking it is an internal mold of an invertebrate, possibly a barnacle or clam.
