Miocene_Mason Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 1.) open sundays? 2) allowed to hunt under (not in) cliffs? 3) good fossils? 4) crowded? thanks for any responses. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You will find mostly shells here. Sharkteeth are rare finds at this location. Cliffs sit back away from tide line. 2 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the Choptank, but hopefully some ecphoras on boulders that dropped off . 1 hour ago, gjb6774 said: This may be helpful. http://www.mgs.md.gov/geology/fossils/fossil_collecting.html Thank you 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 As Dave said, shark teeth are few and far between. The only ones I've found are small and that's after patiently combing the shallow water. There are also plenty of fossil shells lying at or near the base of the cliffs and I've found some there that were new to my collection. Pieces of coral are also common. Don't dig into cliffs or embankments and don't climb on them. Definitely not crowded the two times I was there. I believe I was the only one hunting for fossils. The daily fee for access is cheap and they're friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 @Jeffrey P @Darktooth @gjb6774 Thank you all for your help, I plan to probably go Saturday or Sunday, depending on the amount of thunder. hopefully I can get some nice shells, maybe some Ecphora (maybe gardenerae if my lucks good) and maybe even a shark tooth or two will present itself ( and of course a monster megalodon) I will post whatever finds I get soon after. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
