Conservation score for selected species

I have certain RNA Binding Protein sites that I have predicted computationally and they are said to be conserved in previous literature. I want to know if there is any track/tool that gives the conservation score or flags the conserved sequence in the specific species (or just mammals).

conservation

For GERP score is -0.5334 a somewhat conserved element?

The UCSC Genome Browser carries various conservation tracks. You can manually score your sites against them with BEDOPS, e.g.: A: Average PhastCon score for a bed file

Thanks again , I will use the bedops code to calculate avg phastcon score using this track.
