The Yorktown Formation is Pliocene not Miocene. Not sure there are Yorktown deposits in Duplin County also. These look very similar to the large colonies of Balanus which are very commonly found in the Yorktown of Edgecombe County. Are you sure of the site info for this?

I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
