Westmoreland State Park, VA, USA: Unidentified possible vertebrae, rib(?), and shark tooth
Bowmania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I had a fairly productive first outing to Westmoreland State Park but I have no idea what any of the fossils I found are. I am happy to provide close-ups of any of the individual fossils, and in addition to the photos here, I posted some to imgur to get around the size restriction here. https://imgur.com/gallery/2uIedQS Thanks for your help! -
The Chesapeake Group has at least 16 different species of otoliths (from bony fish) that fossilized. I still have at least a thousand otoliths left to sort. So far I only have five different species (I think). I have already searched over a thousand otoliths in material brought back in just four trips to this middle Miocene (Calvert formation) site. Here are pictures of the five. If I find any additional species I will post them. 1. Micromesistius cognatus (a genus of cods) 2. Trisopterus sculptus (a genus of cods) 3. Genyonemus sp. (a croaker) 4. Pogonias sp. (

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are going to attempt another trip to Calvert Cliffs next weekend. We would love to find a megalodon tooth or vertebrate fossil. We have hip wader and are thinking about going to the Matoaka Beach Cabins and walking north. We were thinking of going a few feet into the water, where larger material has been sorted, and using a sand scooper. For you seasoned experts out there, does this seem like the way to go? I would love any advice! Thanks, Peter
