Some other things dug at Shark Tooth Hill on the same weekend trip. Whale vertebra.  Baculite sections.  Rib bone fragments.  And of course, what the hill was named after.  |

Daniel, this area was a sea bed for millions and possibly billions of years. Many sea creatures died or were hunted over those years. Bones and sometimes whole animals sunk to the bottom and were buried under the sand, layer upon layer. The uplift which created the coastal mountains of California brought those ancient sea beds above sea level, leaving the sand and bones where they still are today.

I agree:). I guess it's a good thing all dino bone aren't colorful with beautiful cells, because no one would know what the bones looked like anymore:P. LOL! Those are really neat Don:).

Not dino bone, but another odd fossil I've found over the years. Petrified tree bark. Believed to be from a conifer.  |

Bummer, photobucket is screwing up again. I went to add a couple more pics, and I'm locked out of my album. I see that 2 pics I posted here are down, and supposedly they're working on it.  |
