What could I expect to find in the Belgrade Quarry in NC? -
Last Friday I went with a group of people to a local North Carolina Oligocene Quarry. This quarry contains exposures of the late Oligocene Belgrade Formation; Pollocksville and Haywood Creek members along with the early Oligocene river Bend Formation. These are all in situ pictures. The drive in .... These piles are mostly Pollocksville member, but there is some Haywood Creek member of the Belgrade mixed in. There is also a pebble lag that has Pleistocene and Pliocene fossils. First find of the day was this nice little croc tooth, Thecachampsa sp. A little later I found this nice cowshark tooth, Notorhynchus cf. primigenius and this nice little croc vert .....

These little echinoids, referred to locally sometimes as "cheerios" because they average about the same size as one. They are a relatively common find in the basal sands of the early Oligocene River Bend Formation, often in association with Rebecapecten trentensis. This specimen is one of my smaller ones; 6.1 mm in diameter and is cleaner than most. Many of these have a calcite coating with black and white sand granules on them. In the last photo; the group shot, it is the one on the upper left. The smallest in the case. Reference: Kier, P.M. (1997) Smithsonian Contributions To Paleobiology : Number 83, Oligocene Echinoids of North Carolina. Pgs. 5-6, plate 3 figs. 1-4 and plate 4 figs. 1-5

Help with an id on this small bone found in the Belgrade Quarry in North Carolina. It is small, less than 19mm. Probably Oligocene, but not sure.

Is anyone going to the Belgrade Quarry in Maysville, NC this Friday? If so, do you have any info or tips? I actually read that it was open to the public this Friday 01/06 on the North Carolina Fossil Club page. I tried reaching out but haven't heard anything back yet via email. Thanks in advance! Holly

I posted this the other day and had a request for more pics. Found: MM Quarry Belgrade (Mayesville) NC Belgrade Formation, late Oligocene/early Miocene and the Trent (River Bend) Formation, Oligocene There are also overlying Miocene/Pliocene and Pleistocene layers. I have seen nothing like this from this or any other NC location. Someone suggested it looked egg like, but I do not see that. I know this may sound odd, and impossible but it looks like an eyeball in its socket to me. Help, suggestions or even some names I can e-mail would be appreciated. Here are a slew of pics from many angles. close ups
