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.

Charcharadon megalodon

T0175: Shark Tooth: Carcharadon cf megalodon
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)
