Calico Jack Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi all, I'm going to be in DC for 2 months this summer. Does anybody have any recommendations for collecting localities in the area? I'll be kinda limited in terms of where I can go bc I wont have a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Might be worth renting one for a weekend to extend your range. Brownie's Beach (=Bayside Park) in Chesapeake Beach is only an hour or so drive away, but a very long walk. Excellent site for Miocene shark and ray teeth, and shells if there is a fresh cliff fall. Purse is a bit farther but a beautiful walk on the beach, with Paleocene shark and ray teeth as a nice bonus. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilsAnonymous Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Yeah, as an alexandria resident I can tell you that there aren't any spots I know of close to DC and you'll either have to go further into VA or MD. 1 On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus!

Calico Jack Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks @FossilDAWG I'll see if I can find a way to get out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons is definitely worth checking out. I also recommend Purse State Park and Bayfront Park- classic sites definitely worth visiting at low tide. Be sure to check the tidal charts before you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
