Localities in the Virginia Area
Andúril Flame of the West posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello everyone, This is my first posting on TFF (although I've been lurking on the forum for a while) and I am excited to be joining a community centered around one of my main interests. I have seen that this forum houses a very kind and helpful community, and I was hoping that some may be interested in helping a - very new and inexperienced - fossil hunter. I will be in the Charlottesville area for Labor Day weekend and I am in search of any tips for finding fossils in that area or general locations where they might be. I am willing to drive up to 3 hours to other locations in Virginia or locations in West Virginia, North Carolina, or Maryland. I have heard that there are some fossils in parts of George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in Virginia and I would be very glad to hear where I can find fossils there and if a permit is necessary to hunt for invertebrate fossils in that location. I am most interested in hunting for fossils from the Ordovician, Devonian, and Carboniferous periods, but any fossils would be great. I greatly appreciate any tips or information!- 6 replies

Good collecting localities in the fossil desert that is Virginia
Megalodoodle posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Virginia is my home state: which also happens to be the worst place to go collecting. Anybody have any good recommendations (there will be few I’m sure) for collecting near Charlottesville?- 6 replies
