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. It was started by a wierdo named diTchweEziL who had an addiction to fossil hunting and a penchant for databases and web programming. He posted pictures of his shark teeth and stories about fossil hunting and the site added its second member in November of 2002. Since then, others with the same drive to find fossils have joined and turned this once humble site into a sweet 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 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 US. Just recently, we had our first posts from 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!
