    @matthew-gramling, I’ll admit the thought certainly crossed my mind, but Bill is absolutely correct about the lack of bourlette/chevron. @christine-kempter I would love to see what else you found at this locality, maybe we can narrow down the age a little bit more!

    Glad to help @christine-kempter ! Y’all get a lot more sharks teeth and marine vertebrates than we do up on the Valley and Ridge province of the state. There are 4 major formations that make up geological strata around Hephzibah: Middendorf Formation, Tuscaloosa Formation, Twiggs Clay Formation, and Dry Branch Formation (Irwinton Sand Member).
