18J: Decatur County,
Georgia’s Miocene Vertebrates
In The
Florida Museum of Natural History
By Thomas Thurman
12/Feb/2026
This page began with a lively Facebook debate between me and Joseph Branin, an established commercial fossil hunter and member of Georgia’s Fossils Group who works deposits in North Florida and South Georgia.
We were arguing whether the Miocene elephant-relative Gomphotherium occurred in Georgia. I argued that it did not, I was aware of no mention of it in the paleo literature. Joseph maintained that he’d personally collected Gomphotherium teeth in South Georgia’s rivers.

Joseph, I concede the point. While Gomphotherium isn’t recorded in the literature, a database search of the Florida Museum of Natural History shows multiple Georgia specimens, from Decatur County, Georgia, housed in their collection and identified by some of the leading paleontologist in the nation. They’ve never been published, there’s a host of unpublished Georgia fossils in the Florida museum. In the museum’s defense, they have a large collection and few hands, and most of those hands are busy with Florida fossils. That’s understandable, to my knowledge no Georgia funding flows into the museum.
The Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) is housed at the University of Florida in Gainesville. It’s simply the largest, best organized, best funded and best equipped natural history museum in the Southeast. A solid staff. A large collection with a detailed, free access, online database.
FLMNH Collecting sites in Decatur County.
Except for Climax Cave, all of these locations are within 5 miles of each other, and the fossils occur in the same formation, no evidence of secondary deposits were reported, so it is assumed here that they represent a resident population.
Climax Cave
Except for Climax Cave, all of these locations are within 5 miles of each other, and the fossils occur in the same formation, no evidence of secondary deposits were reported, so it is assumed here that they represent a resident population.
Climax Cave
- Just north of Climax, Georgia, produced a single Myliobatis magister (eagle ray) dental plate, dated to the Oligocene, discovered by the Florida Speleological Society.
- Near Attapulgus, Crescent Lake Quarry produced 77 specimens across 44 taxa, an unusually high population of large bear dogs as well as wild dogs, it was a predator rich environment. Giant tortoises were present as well as many early horses, rhinoceroses, peccaries, and hoofed deer-like mammals.
- Just southeast of Attapulgus, Gragg Quarry has been reclaimed, the land is reforested, and the fossils beds are generally no longer accessible. 327 specimens were recovered across 70 taxa. Two Gomphotherium teeth were recovered, as well as a river dolphin tooth, marsupial teeth, giant salamander vertebra, rhinoceros, tegu-like lizard, early horses, and many others. The population of predators seemed less than in the Crescent Lake Quarry.
- The marsupial teeth are interesting. These sediments are at least 14.0 million years old. The teeth were ID’d as from the family Didelphidae, marsupials commonly known as opossums which includes the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) our Georgia species. The Virginia opossum is thought to have come into Central and South America after the Central American land bridge was completed 3 million years ago with the rising of Panama, but the marsupial family Didelphidae is well represented across North America during the Miocene.
- Gragg Quarry sediments have been confidently dated to between 14.8 & 14.0 million years old, for our purposes here we’ll use an approximate date of 14.4 million years. Since the Willacoochee Mine and the Crescent Lake Quarry were working the same Torreya Formation it is assumed that their fossils have a similar age.
Willacoochee Mine
- Just southwest of Attapulgus and just north of the Florida line, Willacoochee Mine produced 11 taxa and 17 specimens. They are biased heavily towards shark teeth though some freshwater turtle fossils were also recovered.
Gratitude
I want to thank the Florida museum for their efforts, they are collecting, researching, and preserving many Georgia fossils which Georgia has long ignored. For well over a century there’ve been reports in Georgia’s geologic literature of ample vertebrate & invertebrate material in South Georgia that no Georgia state office, university, or natural history museum has investigated. Most of this is Miocene, but older and more recent fossils are also present. I’m glad so many were recovered and are now safely housed. It’d be a shame for this material to be lost to weathering.
More than just these Decatur County fossils, the FLMNH has accepted fossils and research documents from retiring Georgia paleontology professors as well as retired researchers who worked for the Georgia Geological Survey. Georgia made no effort to preserve and archives research it funded.

The Florida museum’s significant vertebrate collection from Decatur County, Georgia is transcribed here since the Paleobiology Database (PBDB), which is the unofficial fossil record archive, does not include unpublished fossils listed in museum databases. The PBDB only list fossils published in peer reviewed journals.
This doesn’t diminish the value of the Paleobiology Database, it is a vital tool which is steadily growing and being added to, but there is more to the story. First of all, a global database is a huge undertaking. Secondly, there are many natural history museums which have no database of their collection, including museums here in Georgia.

Databases
The FLMNH has separate Vertebrate and Invertebrate Databases, here we’re covering the vertebrates from Decatur County only. There’ll be a separate page for other locations and invertebrate pages.

Link to the Paleobiology Database. PBDB Navigator
By transcribing the fossils here, they will come up on internet searches as occurring in Georgia. This page is intended as part of an ongoing effort to fill out Georgia’s record.
I’ll soon be adding material that the FLMNH collected from other South Georgia counties.

Geologic Setting
Miocene, Toreyya Formation
In 2025 Jason R. Bourque and Edward L. Stanley reported on a single thoracic vertebra from a Tegu-like lizard, Wautaugategu formidus, found in Gragg Quarry. This would have been a medium to large sized lizard perhaps a meter or more in length, we’ll look at the report in detail on another page.
In this paper Bourque and Stanley describe the geologic setting of the Gragg Quarry vertebrates and date the fossils to the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum warmest period in the Miocene, this is when the Torreya Formation was deposited. They report that the sediments were dated biochronologically using both microscopic fossil (likely forams) and larger fossils, these placed the sediments in the of the Barstovian 2 North American Stage (North American Land Mammal Age), they were able to further refine this to between 14.8 and 14.0 million years ago. Again, we’ll use 14.4 million years here.

Except for the Climax Cave shark tooth, which is Oligocene in age, all of the fossils reported on the page came from the Torreya Formation.
The researchers reported a paleoenvironment representing a coastal fluvial deposit with a mixture of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial vertebrates. Fluvial means river related. This would have been the Paleo-Chattahoochee River Delta. Due to a very warm climate sea levels were at a high point with Florida largely submerged except for some small islands along the Brooksville Ridge and a series of islands along the border of Georgia and Alabama.
