TimG. Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi there! my name is Tim George. I am fairly new to the fossil hunting hobby and was wondering if anyone knew someone who could perhaps take me and my dad on a fossil hunting trip. I am looking for people who do tours of either the Calvert formation,Aquia formation, or the Nanjemoy formation. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi TimG. Welcome to the forum. I've never hunted the Calvert/Aquia/Nanjemoy formations, but I am planning to go there for my first time in June. Hopefully one of the other forum members can help you. Good luck.

Wolf89 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm not sure about being a guide, but @WhodamanHD is very knowledgeable about the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have heard good things about CHAPtours although I’ve never utilized their services. I would consider them. If you need any tips or pointers, don’t hesitate to send me a PM. I’d offer to guide you, but I have a busy schedule around now (and I’m not sure I’m quite experienced enough). If you have a date in mind and you want a questionably knowledgeable 16 year old guide though, I’ll certainly check if I am available 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...

Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi Tim, I would definitely check out Bayfront park it is far better collecting than Further south at Flag ponds . You don’t need a guide and there’s no beach charge this time a year. Just bring waders and hunt during low tide. Good luck hunting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a good time and learned a lot. Went home with a couple small teeth and some shells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 If you are looking for boat tours Mid-Atlantic Fossil and Nature Adventures visit most of the deposits that you show interest with. @SailingAlongToo is one of the boat captains.
