(CLAIR) – Researchers have uncovered fossils dating back 15 million years in the ground near Simi Valley.
The fossil find is believed to be around 15-million years old and was an exciting discovery for researchers from California State Chico’s geological department. During the incredible dig, they found the skeleton midsection of a sea hippo and a whale vertebrae.
This discovery in Simi Valley provides more evidence that the entire area, everything from Simi City Hall to the tops of Rocky Peak, was once completely submerged under water.
