Terphunter Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 be on the Chesapeake Bay! This was my first trip out in Maryland this year. In fact this was only my second fossil adventure all year aside from my spring trip to Lee Creek...just been too busy. I made it a fishing and fossil trip with my father. I have been trying to get him to go and give it try...and today he did. We went to one of my favorite spots and gave it an hour but found the tides a bit too high. We managed to find some nice hemis in with the normal assortment and on the way out I found a nice little meg just before getting back on the boat...better then the jellyfish stings that I got!! Good hunting LIFE IS SHORT...HUNT HARD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Owens Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Those are absolutely out of this world! All found on the same trip blows my mind. Makes me want to toss out all the broken & brused teeth I have & head that way!

Roz Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Some very nice finds! In that third pic, have you checked out those exposures or would they likely have nothing fossil wise in them? Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terphunter Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks all. The fishing was a little slow...a few blues and one small rockfish. I wish the tide was better...but that's summertime fossil hunting on the bay! LIFE IS SHORT...HUNT HARD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 In that third pic, have you checked out those exposuresor would they likely have nothing fossil wise in them? Yeah, those cliffs are the Maryland Miocene; that's where all the fossils weather-out from.

DaveHawk Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Nice find Smokepole ! My Great Great Grandfather had a house at N.Beach and we would find hundreds during the summer. Point look out is another great place to find Whale fossils and other creatures besides shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy 55 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Great finds and pictures , so where are the fish? It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveHawk Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Smokepole, your here in Md, would you like to make a trip out to the fossil area. Like hunting I enjoy a partner in the field. I'm just outside DC and the fossils are about 2.5 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terphunter Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Dave would love to...the trick is finding the time with two young ones at home and bow season around the corner Seriously though I am interested in looking for fossils other than shark and marine mammals.

That's all we would find when I was a kid living down at N. Beach in the summer. Plus a few trips out to Tx where we found Dinosaur fossils. Nice part about where I go the trout fishing is awesome.
