Hi Folks, I hope some people here could answer this question. But are there any good fossil areas that are in Virginia Beach? I heard Virginia is an excellent area for fossil collecting via shark teeth, bivalves etc. I am aware of Westmoreland state park, but that is further north closer to Richmond and DC. I heard also of rice’s fossil pit but that closed in 1989 and is no longer available to the public due to it being filled with water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am an avid collector of fossils and always looking for places to explore. Thanks!

Hey y’all! I’m going to be in the VA beach/Norfolk area for a few days in mid Feb. Anyone have tips for hunting in the area? And/or does anyone know of any fossil hunting tours/guides that I could get in touch with? I’m clueless about the area, but I am willing to drive up to 2hrs for a fossil hunting day trip! I know it’ll be chilly, but I’ve got my waders and wool socks ready Thank you!

Had a blast last weekend visiting The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. There is a ton of stuff there that's really worth checking out and I noticed an assortment of fossils. The first picture is a crinoid head.
