On the Potomac? I think its Aquia.

DO, or do not. There is no try.

Where on the Potomac though? Both time periods are exposed. The picture looks like Wades Bay, in that case it's lower Paleocene, Aquia Formation, Piscataway Member.

LOL, true. I just said Aquia because everywhere Ive been on the Potomac it was that formation. I have heard of Nanjamoy, but I have no idea where it is exposed at.

Yes, it was Wades Bay... last time I was there was more than 10 years ago. That time the Potomac water level was so low that we were really walking on the river beds. If I remember good, very nice crocs teeth showed to us that time :wacko:
