Bone fragment found on the York River in Virginia. It is the Yorktown Formation, Pliocene epoch. I'm wondering if it is a vertebrae fragment, and what species it might belong to. It's convex on one side, and concave on the other.

Most of the vertebrae that I find are 1/4” in size. Found this 2” vertebrae near the York River State Park in Virginia. Any ideas on what it belonged to?

I found this shard of bone on the York River in the Yorktown formation, and the pattern on one side is curious. I’m wondering if anyone has seen this, or if it’s a diagnostic texture? Thanks for any help!

Hello all, I am going on a trip with the family down to Carmine's Island for recreation but figured while I'm there why not do some fossil hunting. I mean, it just makes the day better anytime. We know of a location called Felgates Creek, which is Pliocene. Good? Bad? Only about 29 minutes away from me. Can we just find stuff on the coastal beaches? Thanks

Last weekend, my wife's annual family reunion took place in Newport News, Virginia. Our schedule was full of activities but I thought I must check out what fossils the York River had to offer. So while all family members slept in (Group breakfast at 8;30), I snuck out for a quick hunt. This was my first view of the York River, a photo op moment: This alone made my day!!! But I was here to find a fossil typical for the area. As I parked, I met a local gentleman that was here for the same purpose. Though he didn't want to hunt together, he directed me to an area to col

My wife's family reunion is taking place in Newport News, Va. next weekend. As always, when I travel, I like collecting a little bit of the "past" wherever I go. It sounds like the James and York rivers can provide some collecting possibilities. My concern is not to trespass. If anyone can enlighten me on how the shorelines of these rivers are dealt with, it will hopefully keep me out of trouble!!!! I did find this statement: In Virginia, the rivers, bays, creeks, ocean shores and their bottomlands are owned by the state and are legally presumed to be public lands unless they are proven to be

Hello everyone. I am new to your site. Came across you all while doing a Google search to identify a find today. I am not an avid fossil hunter, just a beach comber. After spending sometime on Google and then searching several of your forum posts I have been unable to find an answer. Some friends think I have found a bone, others say fossilized coral. Here is what I can tell you: Found along the York River shoreline during low tide (west of the Coleman Bridge) Was not attached to anything but simply lying on top of the sand about 3-4' out from the marsh grass. It is

Anyone have any good recommendations on a good coastal spot that produces decent teeth around OBX,NC to Surry County? I'm not looking for your secret spot, but a general area that has a decent chance to produce a few nice teeth over a day of fossil hunting. GMR was what I was originally planning, but the Tar River level is probably going to push flood stages over the next several hours. My kids are pretty anxious and I don't want to disappoint. Any help would be great.

Very cool place for the whole Family! -
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.
