.32" Miocene Fossil Seal Molar in Situ - Bakersfield, California
Here is a small, .32" wide rooted seal tooth in situ, collected from Bakersfield, California, a location notable for its abundance of well-preserved shark and mammal teeth. The fossil is from the Temblor Formation which has been dated to the Middle Miocene (roughly 15 million years ago).
Comes with an acrylic display stand.

The Temblor Formation is a Middle Miocene marine deposit. 15 million years ago the sea levels were substantially higher, and central California was covered by what is known as the Temblor Sea.
Two highly fossiliferous bone beds in the formation were created when fossils originally deposited at the bottom of the sea eroded out of the rocks, were concentrated by ocean currents, and subsequently reburied. Because the fossils in these bone beds are reworked, only isolated teeth and bones are found in these beds.
