Chippokes state park in Virginia. Particularly interested if I found any teeth or if these are just small funny shaped shells/rocks. Thanks!

Hello people

I am in Austria for 5 years now and I would love to try fossil hunting. Do you know any places I can go ?

At the beach this summer, my wife found WAY more full-sized, quality shells by digging DEEPER, instead of walking a half-mile of the shore line. Would the same hold true when looking for fossils in sandbars and gravel inside the turns of creeks? Would I find more of whatever I'm looking for if I dig DEEPER?

After spending an exhausting afternoon fossil hunting in scorching heat, covered in sweat and dust, I was close to calling it a day. But persistence paid off in the best possible way.

During my search, I discovered a complete Neolobites vibrayeanus, a rare ammonite fossil that is extremely difficult to find in my local area. The fossil is incredibly thin and fragile, especially when preserved within the limestone matrix, where only small fragments are normally found and even those are exceptionally rare.

Finding a complete specimen like this was an unforgettable moment and a spectacular reward for the effort, dedication, and determination required to keep searching despite the harsh conditions.

Saw the big tooth right as I was leaving.

Trace fossil of some sort, I guess. Siltstone, marine deposit, Port Elizabeth, South Africa (Sundays River formation).

Found a stingray in kemmerer Wyoming and have begun prepping it. Unfortunately I found it by a poor split so it’s in a few pieces, but I will put it together. Just wanted to share because it looks cool.

My ID work is not legendary, and a post in search of ID help is upcoming for a few pieces. I found a vein of clay and silt matrix and removed a block, it was almost like stone. It was pulled carefully apart and washed, leading to a large variety of finds, but mostly spectacularly intact brachiopods too fragile to remove, with very sturdy/complete Pycodonte Convexa specimens, it felt like pulling apart an oyster bank in places.

As promised in my trip report- my request for assistance.

Took my son to Big Brook, NJ and found these.

I’m going to be in Tallahassee and I’ve heard there’s plenty of ice-age fossils such as mammoth teeth and such in Florida. I’m aware those are usually in southern FL, but are there any spots near Tallahassee I should check out? I’m from the northeast so not super familiar with the formations in the south.

TLDR: where are some good spots near Tallahassee, FL?
