Lowndes County
The Withlacoochee River near the Florida line is one of the best remaining places in Georgia to find agatized coral, fossil coral colonies replaced by chalcedony. The material derives from the Oligocene Suwannee Limestone and is recovered from the riverbed and bank gravels of Lowndes County. With many Florida coral sites now closed, this stretch is a regionally significant locality.
