A long time ago I posted about this in a thread on Cretaceous fossils. After going through some labels again, and looking back at geologic maps, I'm 99% sure this "dinosaur" remain (or whatever I thought back then XD) isn't even from the Coastal Plain, but the Piedmont. As you can see, the reason I thought Coastal Plain initially is pretty forgivable. The Piedmont is known as an area of metamorphic units, but this specimen almost looks like some kind of sedimentary feature? Almost looks like ripple marks. Just wondering what anyone's thoughts on this was. The bed I th

Compared to sites elsewhere like in Utah or York, Pennsylvania, the Maryland Cambrian is also rather barren. You could probably count on both hands the number of macrospecies in the entire early and middle Cambrian section of the state. But this rarity only makes collecting in it that much
