Vertebrate Fossils From The El Paso Mountains, California
Vertebrate Fossil From The El Paso Mountains
Kern County, California
| A vertebrate fossil spotted
several years ago in exposures of the late Miocene Dove Spring
Formation that at that date occurred well outside the boundaries
of Red Rock Canyon State Park on Public Lands administered by
the Bureau of Land Management; today, the bone-bearing exposures
where this specimen had weathered out on the surface now lie
within the rather recently expanded borders of Red Rock Canyon
State Park, California. |
| A different view of the same
camel astragalus seen in the previous image. Late Miocene Dove
Spring Formation of the Ricardo Group, El Paso Mountain, Kern
County, California; in actual size, the specimen is 65mm long. |
