Fossil fishes from the Pliocene or Pleistocene Cache Formation, Lake County, California

October 28, 1975

The remains of fossil fishes comprising three species were found in the Cache Formation in Lake County, Calif. The rocks containing the fossils are considered to be late Pliocene or early Pleistocene. The species are all freshwater and primarily quiet-water types that now live in Clear Lake and the waters of the surrounding area, suggesting continuity between the present lake and a lake represented by the rocks of the Cache Formation.
