jovielle Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi! I'm completely new here, but I've been 'lurking' quite a bit. We really enjoyed beach combing for these and wanted to know if we found anything interesting. I've looked through a lot of online information but I don't think I'm experienced enough to be certain. I ordered a 'field guide' for fossil hunting in mid-atlantic states, but it won't get here until Tuesday. These were collected at a beach near Hampton, VA - facing out toward the ocean but still technically in the bay I suppose. If I need to take different or better pictures please let me know, I've read through the tips and I think they are pretty clear but I can definitely try again. Thank you in advanced for any help!

Al Dente Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm not sure what the first picture is. Maybe more pictures would help. The second looks like oyster shell that has been bored by sponge and possibly other organisms. The next two pictures are bryozoan colonies. The last two are barnacles.

jovielle Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I wasn't kidding when I said we were totally new at this! Thank you for your help - I just recently moved to a coastal area from an entire life spent in the midwest...everything inside the ocean is totally new to me!I will definitely take more pictures of the first one!
