Wanted to say hello from Virginia down near the York River, been collecting down here for a little over a year. Usually walk the York and James Rivers. Went out today after the storms we've had come through and found a ton of ecphora, actually found the largest one I've ever found. I also found my very first shark tooth. I have found the other posts very interesting and will start placing my finds on here as well. Thanks

Hello to you all from SE Virginia. First, I'd like to say thank you to the forum for access to the wealth of information that's helped educate me along my fossil journey so far. I grew up on the local rivers fishing, paddling, and etc. I always knew that people were finding sharks teeth in our freshwater rivers, but the "bug" never bit me. After a long hiatus from the local rivers, I recently invested in a kayak to get my then five year old daughter onto the river. In September the "bug" bit. I had a friend help me learn how to read the river bed and clay banks one Saturday afternoon. That first shark tooth has led me on at least monthly paddling/fossil hunting adventures since then. I even bought a second kayak that would protect me from the winter elements, ha ha. So far my time has been spent paddling the Nottoway, Meherrin, and James rivers. The shark teeth and vertebrae caught my attention at first, as it seems to with most people. However, I've also really enjoyed collecting scallop fossils and other bivalves that originate from the Yorktown and Eastover (I assume as I'm still learning). It's fascinating to go out on the lower James one week and find many scallop shells and then the following week find the same species of those bivalves 60 miles inland on the Meherrin. Finding small specimens of the same creatures (and a tooth) from a new water well in the same area was cool too. I'm beginning to understand how scientist and geologists these species to identify and age different formations. Everyone's information that I've read has been helpful. It's neat learning from everyone's posts, especially the ones that give a wealth of information without divulging all of the secrets. I've enjoyed taking what I've learned online and figuring it out myself. I'll try to help others in that manner as well. For me, given my location, all of the entries by MikeR on his project were a wealth of information. Also, the geology/mineral reports from NC and VA are awesome. I've read thousands of pages from the late 1800s to current day. To read reports about localities done over 100 years ago and then visit these spots to educate myself first hand.....good stuff. Dr. Ward's information is priceless. Apologies if this introduction was too much. I just wanted to show some appreciation for what you all have helped me find over these past few months. If you're in my part of the world and want to adventure together sometime, feel free to reach out. I'll gladly give back to others that are as appreciative of this addiction as I am. You'll have to work for it though, just like I'm doing! I've posted pictures of some of my growing collection below. Thanks! - D.B.

I found this while floating the James today beneath the sand in the shallows, the rock is smooth for the most part except for this side. Definite rows of "legs", could it be a coincidence? I'm on the fence about this one, would love insight

Hi! Happy to become a member and hear about everyone's treasures. I am currently in transition in that I will eventually be moving to Wilmington, NC permanently in two years but currently just spend the summers here. My friends back in Williamsburg got me started shark tooth hunting in the James River. It was quite fun and many an afternoon was spent trolling the banks. Now that I am here in Wilmington I'll be heading to Topsail as I hear it has treasures to be found.

I was thinking of heading up to Chippokes State park soon for a nice outting and was hoping if someone could tell me the best fossil hunting areas there and around the surrounding areas. Thanks.
