The web site has been made for the boys and girls interested in fossil sharks. Carcharocles megalodon is the largest shark to have ever lived and is among the largest known shes. Studies estimated that an adult could reach more than 15 m in total length. This extinct lamniform giant ranges from the Miocene to the end of the Pleistocene. A single tooth can reach 168 mm in crown height.
An Archeologist from the Bureau of Land Management calibrates a ground penetrating radar unit by looking for fossils at the Fairmead Landfill in Madera County, CA. Fossils excavated from Fairmead will be displayed at the Fossil Discovery Center of Madera County starting in April 2010.
The San Joaquin Valley Paleontology Foundation was formed in 1994 after the discovery of the Fairmead Fossils in Madera County, California. The Fairmead Fossils are found at the Madera County landfill, which is located in the small town of Fairmead just south of Chowchilla. These fossils were first discovered when a scraper was moving dirt and the alert equipment operator noticed some unusual coloration of the soil. Investigation revealed a complete fossil of a Columbian Mammoth tusk, which was dated at approximately 500,000 years old. In a short time, scientists realized that the landfill was located on one of the most significant fossil beds discovered from the Pleistocene period.
Founded in 1940, the Society now has almost 2,000 members representing professionals, students, artists, preparators, and others interested in VP. The Society is organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes. The object of the Society is to advance the science of vertebrate paleontology and to serve the common interests and facilitate the cooperation of all persons concerned with the history, evolution, comparative anatomy, and taxonomy of vertebrate animals, as well as field occurrence, collection, and study of fossil vertebrates and the stratigraphy of the beds in which they are found. The Society is also concerned with the conservation and preservation of fossil sites. Visit: http://www.vertpaleo.org/
The Dry Dredgers is an association of amateur geologists dedicated to the knowledge and enjoyment of fossils. The Society was founded in 1942 and continues to bring together those interested in the life of prehistoric times. Its aim is to stimulate interest in geology, to encourage the collection and identification of fossils, and to participate in field trips and exhibitions.
