A ranger patrolling a watershed area east of Oakland, California discovered a trove of hundreds of fossils last summer from nearly a dozen ancient species. The site contains hundreds of petrified trees as well.
“It started with me being at the right place at the right time and having an eye for something that was a bit out of place,” said Greg Francek, who spotted the fossils.
