  1. I_gotta_rock

    Pleistocene Worm Tube, Cape Hatteras

    From the album: OBX

    Tube worms from the Pleistocene shelf on which the Outer Banks rest. Washed onto the beach.
  2. I_gotta_rock

    Mollusk Molds

    From the album: Calvert Cliffs

    Molds from the Choptank Formation. Member unknown. Virginia Miocene

    From the album: Calvert Cliffs

    Whelk, Siphonal devexa Aperture view Middle Miocene St. Leonard, Maryland Choptank Formation Drum Cliff Member This is one of four I found in the fallen matrix in four days of excavation. It is the only one that I found intact.

    Chesapectin nefrens

    From the album: Calvert Cliffs

    Collected loose on the beach in St. Leonard, Maryland middle Miocene Choptank Formation Drum Cliff Member Chesapectin nefrens is an index fossil for the Drum Cliff Member of the Choptank Formation, meaning that whatever chunk of matrix one may find fallen out of the cliffs, the precise layer is known so that other fossils in the same block can be identified. These are a very common find at St. Leonard and other places, but I particularly liked the coloration on this one!

  6. I_gotta_rock

    Mussel With Both Valves

    Excavated from matrix in the Chesapeake Bay, about 10 feet off of the beach at low tide. View is external on both valves, but hard outer coating has been lost to decay. Valves are pearlescent.
  7. I_gotta_rock

    Whelk

    Excavated from landslide material approximately 1/2 mile nw of Matoaka beach access. Found 4 that week. Two survived excavation. This is the only one discovered intact.
  8. I_gotta_rock

    Volute Snail

    This specimen was made incredibly soft by the surrounding matrix. The thin veneer of glossy coloration has worn away, but can be seen on this specimen, which came from the same 2 ft x 1ft x 1ft block of matrix that fell out of the cliff into the bay. Half a dozen of these were collected from that and one other small, adjacent block that day, along with more than two dozen other species. Layer originally designated Shattuck Zone 18. Donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
  9. I_gotta_rock

    Geoduck Clam

    Sometimes you just get lucky. This geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck) was sitting with its mate in living state, filled with matrix, under a pile of landslide rubble at the water's edge. The exteriors of both shells were almost completely clean of matrix. Most other specimens were badly cracked in the matrix and would never have survived the fall. This shell was donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
  10. I_gotta_rock

    Cockle Shell

    This was carved carefully from a block of matrix that fell out of the cliffs into the bay. Of the dozens that I found, this was one of the few that did not completely fall apart what it was separated from the surrounding sand. Though thicker than many shells in the same chunk of sand, they are extremely soft in this location and incredibly fragile. Donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
  11. I_gotta_rock

    Crassinella Clam

    Collected from matrix deposited in the Chesapeake Bay by landslide. Donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
  12. I_gotta_rock

    Venus Clam

    Collected from matrix deposited in the Chesapeake Bay by landslide. These shells are extremely fragile and are not to be found loose on the beach. Most disintegrated when I was working the matrix. This specimen was donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
