California Whale Ear Bone Identification
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.
