The Fall Line is an ancient beach line when the ocean hung out at about 350' deeper than it is today.
These were found at the intersection of the Flint River and the Fall Line at an odd limestone exposure at Montezuma Ga.
BIL lives nearby and we went in his boat. He also found his first arrowhead and two flint tools.
Small fossil rich muck filled the inside of the oyster and solidified. The holes in the shell were bored by boring clams.
Large boulders were oyster/limestone conglomerate.
It is as if they were ripped from their position and deposited rapidly since most of them are paired together and likely buried live.
Bear in mind oysters must live at the surface in tidal boundaries.
