Martin Marietta has a quarry in Fountain where they find the same kinds of things. I was working for a customer who was doing some drilling for them some years back where the majority of the overburden had been removed already. I looked around every chance I got, looking to find some fossile shark teeth, or something, but had no luck at all.
