California Dolphin Vertebra Identification
Dolphin Vertebra is a realistic California fossil profile built around small spool-like vertebra from marine sediments and surf lags. In this state, success usually comes from learning marine terraces, Monterey shale exposures, and beach gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
