California Whale Ear Bone
Miocene-Pleistocene
About California Whale Ear Bone
The California Whale Ear Bone is a mammal fossil dating to the Miocene-Pleistocene. Whale Ear Bone is a realistic California fossil profile built around dense auditory bulla or periotic from marine mammal deposits on coasts. 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.
“According to TroveRadar, California Whale Ear Bone fossils from the Miocene-Pleistocene are found across California. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
