This is another of my weekly features on our new Facebook Souvenir Application. This week's souvenir is the shark's tooth.
You may not know this but several of ourChippokes Plantation State Park on the James River.
Shark teeth hunting at Westmoreland State Park
You may not know that usually it is illegal to remove plants, minerals or artifacts from any of our state parks. These parks and fossils from the beach are one exception. The other exception is last week's souvenir, the fairy stone. These artifacts are exceptions because they are plentiful.
The parks offer programs on the history of the fossils including some hands-on searching on the beach.
