butchndad Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 hello the west side of the Chesapeake Bay is famous for vertebrate fossils at sites like Calvert Cliffs has anyone found or know or finds of vertebrate fossils on the EAST coast of the bay? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxytropidoceras Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 One way to evaluate to fossil potential of the east shore for fossil hunting is to look at the geological maps in "Geologic Map of Maryland (1968) Index" at: http://www.mgs.md.gov/esic/geo/index.html Unfotunately, it looks like the east coast of Chesapeake Bay consists mostly of Pleistocene strata that lack the fossils found on its west coast. In Queen Anne County, there is some Aquia Formation shown along short segments of the coast and Calvert Formation indicated along interior drainages and along Wye Island's shoreline at http://www.mgs.md.gov/esic/geo/que.html .

Monica Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hi @butchndad! It's probably not a good idea to post your email address directly into the forum because of spammers - you can always use the "Personal Messaging" option to send another member your email (it's the little envelope at the top of the screen - at least that's what it looks like on my screen!). I'll tag some administrators/moderators - perhaps they can remove your email address... @JohnJ @Fossildude19 @FossilDAWG @digit @Kane 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Indeed. There are email scrapers that love nothing more than to harvest email addresses and add to your spam load. Best practice is to invite other members to contact you through the personal messaging functionality when for conversations of a more sensitive information or of limited interest to the wider forum. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The Delaware Geological Survey also has some interesting information about fossils and collecting east of Chesapeake Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
