Tips (by fossil site)

Brownie's Beach (aka Bayfront Park): Depending on the tide, most of the fossilized sharks teeth here are just into the water's edge where the shell parts all gather. So, if you can bring something to filter the shells (I actually used a fine-holed spatula, but you pros can use your standard box and mesh wiring) and maybe a pair of waders (I used galoshes which worked just fine for the water levels when we were there). The shark's teeth are the only dark items on the beach so, though most are tiny, they're VERY easy to spot. If you don't feel like getting soaked out at the shoreline, you can find just as many in the shell deposit areas of the beach.

Scenic Overlook, in-between Green Bank and Seneca, WV: Watch out for falling rocks and, in the winter, ice. The majority of the fossils that we found were across the road from a pull-off/parking location. I'll upload the GPS coordinates for the exact site shortly. But, based on what I was reading recently in Jasper's Mid-Atlantic Fossil Guide book, there are a ton of fossil sites in this area of South-eastern West Virginia. Several formations exist here within miles of one another. So, we just lucked out and you might too if you're ever in the Pocohontas County area. Most of the fossils we found here had broken off of the mountain front and were readily accessible for pick-up right by the road. Just watch out for traffic. We also found a few fossils by the parking location (across the street from the mountain face). This area was just above a creek that's also known for being fossil rich. If we'd had more time, we would have tried the creek itself.
