UPDATES

May 2012

Miocene of Maryland/Virginia Invertebrate Fossil I.D. Sheet

I've had a few requests for an Invertebrate Identification sheet for the Calvert Cliffs of Maryland. Here it is!

April 2012

I updated the Shark Gallery page by adding some diagrams that show basic shark anatomy and terminology.

I also made a " Prehistoric Shark History and Evolution " article. It's a comprehensive and up-to-date article on shark evolution throughout the fossil record.

March 2012

Calvert Cliff Coffee Club Coffee Cups!!! I got some "Calvert Cliffs Coffee Club" Coffee Cups made. These are cool cups with line drawings of some of the calvert cliff teeth. Any Calvert Cliffs Collector should have one and join the coffee club! Check them out, they are $15.00 (includes shipping). Most of this is to cover the cost of the set up fee, mug printing, shipping, and the paypal fees.

I added a trip from wayback in November to Red Hil. This is the last fossil trip report that was backlogged from 2011.

February 2012

I revamped the Calvert Cliffs collecting site over the past few days. It's now easier to navigate and read.

January 2012

Just a reminder: Due to safety reasons, there will be no Spring 2012 collecting season at the PCS mine in Aurora, NC

Finally an update! It's been a crazy ride the last couple of months. But an update is here, and there are more to follow shortly! I posted a trip to the House Range near Delta Utah via the Trilobite Jam. It has TONS of images and a few videos. There's lots of information. Enjoy the cambrian bonanza! Trilobite Jam Trip!

July 2011

Another update! A trip to Paulding, Ohio for a Trilobite hunt!

Questions, Suggestions, Answers? Email me at:

Please don't send emails asking for the monetary value of a fossil, for that check out the fossils on Ebay.com, or other commercial web sites.

All of the fossils we found are identified to the best of my ability. In many cases publications, books, and the help of very knowledgeable people were used to identify them.
If you think any fossils are miss-identified, please email me so I can change them.
On the same note, if you know that info on a collecting area featured here is wrong, or has been changed, please let me know.

Thank you!
Also, I would like to thank everyone who has corrected any information and/or helped identify any fossil found on these pages, via email or in person. Thank you very much for making this web site a better place!
