Virginia Whale Ear Bone Identification

Whale Ear Bone is a realistic Virginia fossil profile built around dense auditory bulla or periotic from marine mammal deposits on coasts. In this state, success usually comes from learning shell hash banks, estuary muds, and storm-washed beach lag, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
