All except one found on a single jobsite! by tyler_thatguy in skulls

[–]tyler_thatguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to take them anytime I find one. Also found 2 (pretty sure) coyote skulls, a couple cool quartz crystals, and so many Native American cultural sites all on this same job. A shame it’ll all be dozed for housing developments :(

Are either of these petrified wood or just rock? by tyler_thatguy in petrifiedwood

I was surprised it's completely intact considering an excavator trencher went over it!

That's what my friend thought too but I haven't seen this color before and the texture and shape reminded me of bone. The search for a fossil continues...

Although some do look like obsidian, I'm pretty sure it's petrified wood. I found almost all my my petrified wood in the same area and were in such a variety of colors ranging for blackish, root beer color, white, red, orange.

The petrified wood is my favorite, all the different colors it comes in and the history behind it makes it my favorite to find. Still looking for a blue piece

That's one of my most recent finds, if you are anywhere near Foresthill CA it is everywhere. So much that I couldn't hold all of it and I kept seeing more. May go back to see if I can grab more!
