The beautiful fos
siliferous sand dunes of of the Margarita formation in Scott's Valley California. Not only are they beautiful, but they are famous for their shark teeth and other vertebrate remains. This is a nice picture of the scenery from a little site I know. From here I have recovered 19 fossil teeth, ranging from Carcharocles Megalodon to semicossyphus (sheapshead fish) teeth, not including the sea cow bones and many other bone fragments recovered, Below is a picture of the hole I always dig at.

Below is what you might find in one hour of sifting. Preservation in the Margarita formation is fairly poor, so the teeth might look water worn or can be fragmentary.
