  1. You can find fossil sharks teeth in VA along the James river downstream close to Claremont next to some hills that are eroding and exposing more teeth and other fossils. It’s a lot of fun to find them. I have a bunch that I’ve saved and didn’t throw away through all the times I’ve moved in the last 20 years.
