Hello, I’ve recently been to a kaolin exposure in west georgia USA, that contains fossil shells. I Collected some and I believe they are the shells of the genus turritella. Kaolin in georgia dates from the late Cretaceous to Eocene periods, and I don’t think kaolin preserves foraminifera, so the age can’t be determined exactly so I don’t know what age it is exactly but based on a geologic map of Georgia I looked at there was Cretaceous and minor paleocene, and Eocene deposits as well. I was hoping someone with southeast fossil knowledge could help me with what species my turritella shells are ..read more

Itching to go hunting today. For various reasons, normal hunting companions were not available. Decided to go to a place on the Peace River that is easy access,  have not been there in a while , and mostly produces small colorful shark teeth from the Miocene and little else.   I did find the colorful teeth,  not as many or as pristine  as previously. Note the silicified shell, urchin spines, and ray teeth. Add in silicified bone and a couple of times in the past , that is 100% of what I found.  Very little mixing with Pleistocene fauna in this spot. A couple of years b ..read more
