In my last post I mentioned a new spot I heard of in JCC and I was going to go Monday. Well I couldn't wait. I ditched work early today and headed there to check it out. This spot is further inland about a mile from the James river. There use to be a dam there but it broke years back cutting a decent gash through the woods. The edges of the gash are covered with fossil shells and rocks. I poked around for a while looking for teeth, then I found some whale bones. Sweet I thought, If there is prey there must be predator. Not five minutes later I found a tooth. It was a sand tiger tooth w/feeding damage. Then I found a small tiger like tooth ( maby a dusky shark ) with very sharp edges and serrations all the way up both sides. I will check back there after we get a good rain and see if I can't find something a little bigger. Good times! I'm still off Monday and should get some river time so keep checking in. Jake

My brother & I discovered a nice spot to check out fossils & larger scalloped shells. I would love to meet someone who knows more than us down there. We will be there on Monday 1/11/09 - doing some volunteer work at Chippoakes SP & then free for the day. We found petrified wood there today!! We are new at this... but hooked~	Content Quality : 9 of 10 Drool Quotient : 9 of 10 Picture Quality : 10 of 10
