I would like to make a trip up to Sepulga River near Evergreen, AL with my daughter to look for shark teeth and related Eocene fossils. Has anyone searched this river? We would prefer to find some areas we can search without having to canoe or kayak. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I'm still working on going through my old finds from the Eocene aged Manasquan Formation of Monmouth County, New Jersey. I could definitely use some other eyes on these pieces. All of these were picked up from gravel bars of a stream and could be of Eocene or Pleistocene age. 1 - I think this is a bivalve with the beak at the top. The reverse picture below, I think, reinforces this. 2 - I'm not used to this texture. Perhaps glacially deposited, but, is it just geologic? 3 - Similar texture to #2. The easy call would be a shell impression 4 - Again, similar texture to #2 and #3. Close up picture below. 5 - Perhaps just a concretion or stone, but I keep seeing bivalve. 6 - Coral? Bivalve? Nothing? This is the normal Manasquan Formation texture for steinkerns. See other views below. This is the reverse side of each piece. Close up of #4 Other views of #6.

Pecten sp Manasquan Formation Eocene Monmouth County, NJ This is relatively common but is often fragmentary. Weller only gives Pecten sp as present in the unit while Whitfield doesn't recognize any Pecten. Pecten kneiskerni is present in the slightly younger Shark River Formation and I am tempted to assign that to these older specimens. -
