This summer I was helping a youth group from church on a camp. The trip was to Kodiak Island for a week. Got lucky and was able to convince the group that a road trip to a distant beach was in order for a bit. Drive about 4 hours for a 2 hour beach stop. Unfortunately for me I was limited on time, didn't have the right equipment, and was in someone else's rig. So I wasn't able to really explore and collect much. But I brought home 2 nice chunks of matrix with lots of shells. The site has limited scientific printed information that I have located. it is Miocene in age. Photos of 1 block I carried out and 1 exposed sand dollar on a different block I brought home as well.

Hi! My son found this at Fossil Beach on the Potomac River at Westmoreland State Park, VA. I was hoping someone could tell me what it is. He is an aspiring (seven-year-old) paleontologist and very excited about his find! Thanks for your help!

My first visit to Fossil Beach at Mornington Victoria today. I found this piece of fossilised coral. I know the finds from this area date to the Middle Miocene period (10-15 million years old) but I was curious as to whether this would date from that period too?
