Black River Fossils - Fossil Hunting and all things Fossil Related

Black River Fossils - Hunting for Fossils Worldwide

Welcome to Black River Fossils, a site all about collecting fossils, artifacts, and other interesting things. There are thousands of fossil pictures here, being steadily added on an almost weekly basis since 1998. You have found a place to spend a few hours at work looking at pictures that won't get you fired. If you like stories of digging up old teeth bones, take a look around.

We used to focus on shark teeth and other fossils in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, but now its so much more thanks to the efforts of other amateur fossil and artifact hunters. It has become an internet fossil journal for many collectors from different places with great details at times about the kinds of fossils that can be found around the United States and Europe. I have no doubt that the site will continue to thrive and grow. Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed. You are inspiring people everywhere to dig to new depths!

Do you like the design from the recent T-shirt design contest? If you want one you can buy a Black River Fossils T-shirt here.
