A few days in the northern neck of Virginia

Had the great fortune to spend a few days in the northern neck with my partner looking for fossils and wandering about. Sunday we hit a low tide at Stratford Hall . A beautiful morning ,and later in the afternoon looking over our spoils at Montross brewery!

Monday morning the weather had shifted and the wind was up, but it was sunny at westmoreland state park. I found my first fire-breathing shark in the cliffs, and some amazing ghost vertebrae in the clay... has anyone seen these before?

Teeth were hard to find Monday, even though there was lots of good gravel and wave action. Finally, about to give up, right at the trailhead with footprints all around ...

 

a little posterior meg ( or chub) with some chips ... thanks To jenny for a great birthday and the Potomac for never disappointing!

Happy birthday!  Looks like you found a stone point in there, to boot, if my eyes don't mistake me.  Great finds!
