I went walking on the Withlacoochee River near Quitman, Georgia and found a few of these fossilized oysters! The river is pretty high right now but I managed to find some parts of the bank that were accessible and had recently been exposed.
These appeared to have eroded out of a layer of clay on top of a hard limestone/hardened clay rubbly looking material.
This is pretty far north of where you find the agatized coral on that river, and I haven't found these in the area where there is agatized coral so I'm unsure of the exact age. Interesting stuff!

Here's a tub full of petrified wood I collected from the Alapaha River in Southern Georgia! (Plus details of one large slab.)

From the same location as the petrified wood I posted earlier, these are three-toed horse fossils (unsure of exact species) including an incisor, a toe bone, and an unfused end of a cannon bone (which means it came from a juvenile individual).
Cool stuff we don't hear about much from Georgia!
