Found ex-situ, so I have included both Oligocene formation possibilities (Chandler Bridge Formation and Ashley Formation). References: Cicimurri, D. J., & Knight, J. L. (2009).

Made my first fossil hunting trip to South Carolina, went to some areas around Summerville, thought I’d share pics of some of the fossils I collected! The best finds were some echovenator-like teeth, Angies, great whites, some intact sections of dugong ribs, and several associated pieces of a sea turtle shell. Felt like Indiana Jones exploring all the creeks trying to find productive spots haha. Fun trip, hope to return in the future!

Hello, my mom found this in a creek in Summerville. The formation present here is the Chandler Bridge and Ashley formations. I believe from the late oligocene. Does anyone know what it is?

A friend of mine sent me some photos of a really strange bone, and I believe it is a part of a vertebra. It was found on a dredge island across the river from the Wando shipping terminal in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. I collected at the terminal for a couple of years so I know that the only fossil formations found there are the Ashley formation (late Oligocene marine exposure) and some unknown late Pleistocene formation. The processes on this vertebra (if it is a vertebra) are really strange. The primary mammals from the Ashley formation are cetaceans and dugongs, but this does not look like it belongs

Wife and I were out doing some social distancing fossil hunting and came across this bone. Fairly large hollow bone. Any thoughts?

Logos, Pathos, and Ethos as Learned by a Novice Fossil Hunter

Toby (my 10yo son) and I at the site for a group #BlackFriday #Fossil hunt #optoutside #outddoorresearch, Nov 25, 2016 There's a particular creek/ditch site my son and I like to frequent. It's not the easiest site and not always as productive as we'd like, but it's a good site nonetheless. I've been studying the stratigraphy to better Vertebra understand what could be there as I get to know the species of the fossils we find. We have found a number of things from micro shark teeth like tigers, to bigger items like rib bones and- 1 comment
