Fossil collecting Virginia Beach?

Hi Folks,

 

I hope some people here could answer this question.  But are there any good fossil areas that are in Virginia Beach?  I heard Virginia is an excellent area for fossil collecting via shark teeth, bivalves etc.  I am aware of Westmoreland state park, but that is further north closer to Richmond and DC.  I heard also of rice’s fossil pit but that closed in 1989 and is no longer available to the public due to it being filled with water.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am an avid collector of fossils and always looking for places to explore.  Thanks!

Check out this website.

The information is very old, and likely no longer accurate.
But it is worth looking into possible localities.
