Nice Hell Pig and Mammoth bones!

 

I am curious, what rough area did you find the Pipefish fossils in?  When I found Brittle Star fossils far back in the Los Padres Mountains near Sespe Creek, I saw similar fossils but assumed they were just plant matter fossils and ignored them.  Shoot!  Its a long hike back to the spot to double check!  lol
