Fossil Photo Gallery
A collection of photos of fossils from a small and not especially interesting fossil collection. I can't imagine that many people will much care, but if you need a fossil picture that is not encumbered by intellectual property constraints feel free to use one of these.

T0175: Shark Tooth: Hexanchus sp. (Tooth found in a cobble conglomerate, came out in pieces . All the enamel and most of the root recovered)
Miocene. San Mateo Creek Formation, Oceanside, San Diego County, CA. Enamel only, root largely weathered away. The exposure was in the East side of an ex-quarry/automobile junk yard in Lawrence Canyon(?) on the S side of the San Luis Rey River in Oceanside. It was accessible from the no longer extant Hill Street Off ramp from I5 in Oceanside. A limited access highway -- CA78 -- was subsequently run through the area. (The blue background grid is .25in ~= 6.6mm)

I think you mean Hwy 76 runs past that spot- I spent 1 morning digging the hillside in that quarry in about 1990 and found 2 very nice Great White teeth and lots of other bone fragments.
Is this site still accessIble?
