If there's very little poison oak, then I can totally manage...<br /><br />Brian - I take it that's the Gay Head unit (can't remember if its an actual formation). A couple years ago I got an email about a Carcharocles megalodon tooth fragment from Maine, if you can believe that - the person actually thought it was a Troodon tooth, so my advisor at the time (Dave Varricchio) was emailed and he forwarded it to me. If I can find that email and the person who sent it... the promise of an as-yet unknown miocene unit in Main is very intriguing. <br /><br />Yeah, I forgot how horrible a place New England was! Next to no marine vertebrate bearing units... This is partially why I'd like to end up at a university on the west coast, preferably in CA, near the coast.Robert Boesseneckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157434108254005433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953405279736337089.post-5720106321108262062009-10-15T16:15:54.795-06:002009-10-15T16:15:54.795-06:00You and Neil are lucky, it is difficult to find fo...You and Neil are lucky, it is difficult to find fossil localities of marine vertebrates in New England. I'm trying to work out some marine-nonmarine correlations near here, including a place in Martha's Vineyard, but no one wants to let anyone collect in such expensive real estate here.... :-(Brian Lee Beattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964393108719483799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953405279736337089.post-49853389981749301852009-10-12T12:29:09.836-06:002009-10-12T12:29:09.836-06:00Just got back from the trip up to Shasta Lake with...Just got back from the trip up to Shasta Lake with Dick, in fact. Had a bit more luck than you it appears - found loads of marine reptile bone within about 10 minutes of looking! We only managed to see about 1/1000th of the outcrop area too...so it looks like we have some work cut out for us. We will probably head back up next spring, let me know if you are interested in joining us - the poison oak wasn't too bad, at least where we were...Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293693723899837239noreply@blogger.com
