VA Fossil Collecting Jackpot!

Recommended Posts

Last week me and some friends went to a couple of localities in Virginia! It was a nice change from collecting in the heat. Came back with boxes of Ordovician-age fossils on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday then went to good 'ol Purse for shark teeth the rest of the week and weekend. Came back with quite a few well-preserved brachiopods, graptolites, and a few fragments of trilobites. So many ray plates and a few shark teeth from Purse. I'm backlogged for weeks! Too tired to bother writing properly.

Miscellaneous brachiopods also wrapped and awaiting the off-season.

Looks like a voluminous haul, congrats! But are you sure to get them unwrapped anytime soon? ;)

:DOH: Photos before the wrap, my dude. 

Yes, I realized this after I posted and decided to just go with it.

I forgot to mention that the wrapped specimens and the fossil pile are all from the "classic" location across from Gore Grocery Store. The locality still produces quite a bit if you are willing to take the time to look.
