Fossil Sand Dollar and Clam (KH9)
These well-preserved clams and sand dollars lived in a shallow sea that covered the San Joaquin Valley for millions of years. During storms the animals became buried in sediments which preserved the shells. Under heat and pressure, the shells altered into calcite, yet preserved their fine detail. Later, due to movement of the nearby San Andreas fault, the whole area was uplifted, becoming the Kettleman Hills. The Hills became famous for its oil in the 1920s. But the oil has since played out and the land is returning to its former native environment. We’ve polished the primary shells to show their beauty and detail. Iron and petroleum color the shells. We have spent years mapping the Hills and are the only people who know where to find these unique fossils.
Notes specific to this specimen: One large polished sand dollar with two great polished clams. Matrix piece that has a flat bottom so it stands nicely.

Dinosaur Bones (D4)
Notes specific to this specimen: This is a distal manus digit (“finger”) bone of Edmontosaurus. In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

Dinosaur Bones (D3)
Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

Dinosaur Bones (D2)
Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The asymmetry here indicates this was likely a toe on the right side of the animal. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This piece has no reconstruction.

Dinosaur Bones (D1)
Notes specific to this specimen: This is a very well preserved neural arch and process of a cervical vertebrae, probably about midway down the neck of a hadrosaur (bipedal) dinosaur. The centrum is not present. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This exceptional piece has no reconstruction.
