Stone Phallus
(also pictured above) |
|
Twelve of the 14 Great White Shark teeth were fossilized and could have come from deposits as far south as Georgia or as close as Maryland. The other two shark teeth (the white ones) probably came from a dead shark found on the beach by prehistoric peoples. The largest of the two stone pendants was made from Martinsburg slate of the Great Valley sequence of western Virginia and the large knife blade was made from black chert, also of the Great Valley sequence. The sandstone phallus is the first one of its kind documented south of central Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey. |
