Excavations at this site in 1990 uncovered abundant shark teeth and other fossils of the Cretaceous age, a time when dinosaurs roamed the continent and large reptiles swam the ocean. These fossils are evidence that the area was covered by the sea 75-million years ago. Fossils are present in the boulder-sized concretions in Twenty-mile Creek, but the greatest concentration was found below an oyster bed 40-feet higher.
