    Product Description

    SEE MORE PINNIPED SEAL AND SEA LION FOSSILS

    This is an excellent fossil tooth with root from a prehistoric pinniped sea lion of the species Allodesmus kernensis.  This tooth is a lateral tooth meaning it came from the side of the jaw.  It was found in the famous Sharktooth Hill deposits in Bakersfield, California and sports a beautiful pumpkin orange crown and light mocha brown complete root.

    HISTORY

    The rich Miocene fossil deposit known as "Sharktooth Hill" located in Bakersfield (Kern County), California has a reputation as the finest and most diverse fossil deposit of Miocene sharks, rays, bony fishes, turtles, birds and mammals (both marine and terrestrial) of the entire Pacific realm of North America.  The formation is a result of silt spilling out of a prehistoric river delta into a Middle Miocene sea that once covered central California over 12 million years ago.  This river originated in the nearby mountains east of Bakersfield.  The fossil-bearing layer is thin ranging an average of only 6" - 18" thick but it spans approximately 100 square miles!
