KINDA CRAZY BACK YARD FIND

[dollydazed]

WE JUST TILLED OUR BACKYARD FOR NEW GRASS AND FOUND THIS FOSSIL. I THOUGHT IT STRANGE SINCE WE LIVE 4-5 MILES FROM THE DELTA. IT WAS DOWN ABOUT 6 INCH DEEP. NO REAL TREASURE BUT STILL A FIND AND I BET ITS OLDER THEN ANY COIN
OR METAL FIND ON HERE HA HA

That is cool. Are you talking the San Joaquin Delta?

 

[Pirateofthewaste]

Awesome find. Fossil hunting is almost as much fun as detecting!

Probably toted around and dropped by a native american. Cool cool cool!!

Very cool……..around my place in upstate NY I find fossils, sea shells included all over……and we are over 2,000'
Geography changes over time with seismic activity

Chances are pretty good that area was part of the ocean millions of years ago

These can be MILLIONS of years old.
I live near Cleveland OH (far from the ocean), but as a kid found many ocean shell fossils.
Wonder what ever happened to all those?
I brought home so many rocks it must have drove my mom nuts.

no the start of the sac delta where it comes in from the s.f. bay

Very cool fossil, there could have been a river or lake long long ago, cool fin non the less. Happy Hunting.
