Sharktooth Hill

Sharktooth Hill is located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills outside Bakersfield is home to the largest deposit of Miocene marine fossils in the world. The bonebed dates back 15 million years and contains a remarkable concentration of fossil specimens. Evidence of a time gone by can be found in the quarries at Sharktooth Hill. Findings include bones of whales, long-extinct sea lions, and of course, shart teeth including those of the fearsome Megalodon. Even the most novice fossil hunters will uncover specimens of the past.

Just past Tulare, you will find the Pixley Vernal Pools located within the Pixley National Wildlife Refuge. Vernal pools are home to the endangered Fairy Shrimp. These tiny relatives of the lobster swim on their backs by slowly moving their 11 pairs of legs. Fairy Shrimp eggs are embedded in the dry bottom mud of the pools and even freeze during the winter, only hatching when the spring rains come.
