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! -
How to Select a “Probable Area” to Begin Digging
Megalodoodle posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Many Needmore formation sites are located where I live. I was wondering how does one go about selecting a “probable spot” to begin digging/splitting shale. Is there some trade secret that I am unaware of or is it pure luck? -
Fossil ID: Needmore formation Devonian fossils ( Lost River)
Rexofspades posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, As a follow up to my previous post, I wanted to see if anyone can help me Identify some of the things I found or confirm my suspicions. all material was found in Wardensville, part of the needmore formation in the Lost River quarry. #1 lets start with the biggest stumper, I have absolutely no Idea what this thing is or even if it is a fossil. my best guess is a possible trilobite feeler, but even then I am not familiar enough with their anatomy to make that call. failing that, some sort of soft bodied invertebrate perhaps? #2 I believe this to be a small branch of Trachypora coral. the fossil was longer than is pictured, but it unfortunately broke off as I extracted it. I have heard that you can restore this coral to its truer color by using a very weak acid, is that true? #3 some crinoid stems with what I believe to be a fossil of something on the top right rock. the formation was littered with these rust colored veins of sorts, I dont know if it is simply a concretion, or a type of life. nothing on the ID pages I used seem to reference this. #4 I'm reasonably confident now that this is in fact a trilobite head sticking out of the matrix, if anybody has worked in or knows any resources on preparing fossils from this WVA formation please let me know.

Hi all! Went on an expedition to Wardensville this weekend to try out some new equipment, decided to go to the Lost river quarry and try my hand at shale splitting. The drive was nice and uneventful. but eventually I made it to the spot. The scree was more treacherous than I expected, has to use my new rockhammer as a pick of sorts to help anchor myself. this was my very first time to this locality, doing anything like this for that matter, so I had no idea what I would find if anything. after scrambling up to the rock wall and looking over the texture my eyes were met with the first find of the day, a trilobite partial sticking out of the rock. I was excited and managed to retrieve this one from the matrix. Pouring over the rest of the surrounding area, I was able to find a couple more trilobites, brachiopods, and some coral material. Following some of the advice from this forum I brought tinfoil to wrap each fossil in. There was a nice family that also pulled up to look for fossils and I spent some of the time chatting with them about the formation and the surrounding area. I will be making a separate post with some of the finds that I cannot ID, and maybe asking for some fossil prep advice. any Fossil ID or suggestions are appreciated as always!

Freshly found. Found in/very close to Needmore Formation near Petersburg WV. More sandstone than shale, but shale was just above. Lots of brachiopods nearby. Would love someone to tell me it's a rare ammonite or similar. Thoughts? ID help? Thank you.

Hey again, this is a very tiny ~.5cm shell that I found some time ago at the regular road cut at the Lost River exposure of the Mahantango Formation. I would guess it’s a Gastropod or something similar but if it could be narrowed down any further I would be elated. Thanks guys!

Here with another fossil, and I’m pretty sure this time it’s actually a fossil Distinct striations on a smooth impression in the shale. Just half an inch longways and about .4 inches tall. Found at the regular Lost River cut, Middle Devonian age. Thanks guys!
