Recently Joshua, Kyle, Denice and I went on a trip with the CFMS to Somis California. The CFMS had gotten permission to go onto the privately owned tomato Field to dig on the hillside for fossils. A lot of people turned up. It was a nice day, cloud cover all day so it wasn't to hot, but it was humid. Oddly enough it was only one hillside at the back of the Field that had fossils either on it or in it. This was our first time to this site as well as with anyone from the CFMS or a rock hound club. We had a good time. Lots to look at, unfortunately I only took one picture while I was there. Once we figured out that the fossilized sand dollars were in the brush we quickly altered our path. Now when I say brush I really mean jungle. It was ridiculously over grown out there, and we had to crawl, hack and traverse some wicked terrain. Just a word of advice if your ever going out into brush of any kind beware of ticks!! we all had at least one on us by the end of the day. Ewwwww Gross!! Anyway here are the fossils we found!
