Megalodoodle Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Last week me and some friends went to a couple of localities in Virginia! It was a nice change from collecting in the heat. Came back with boxes of Ordovician-age fossils on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday then went to good 'ol Purse for shark teeth the rest of the week and weekend. Came back with quite a few well-preserved brachiopods, graptolites, and a few fragments of trilobites. So many ray plates and a few shark teeth from Purse. I'm backlogged for weeks! Too tired to bother writing properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodoodle Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Close-up of some of the fossils in the pile. Not the best examples (already wrapped the best). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a voluminous haul, congrats! But are you sure to get them unwrapped anytime soon? Franz Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodoodle Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I forgot to mention that the wrapped specimens and the fossil pile are all from the "classic" location across from Gore Grocery Store. The locality still produces quite a bit if you are willing to take the time to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
