The Smithsonian's resident fossil seal expert, Irina Koretsky, identified this superb specimen, from a collector who wishes to remain anonymous. My understanding is that there is only one other known specimen of this taxon that approaches ours in quality ofpreservation! Eventually, it will be put on display at the Calvert Marine Museum. If that weren't enough, shortly after receiving the seal skull, Richard Frye donated a lower jaw of another, exceedingly rare, but· locally known Miocene seal, Callophoca sp. Furthermore, he included in his gift to the Museum a partial lower jaw of the Miocene dog, Tomarctus sp. Many thanks Richard! It is also a treat for me to acknowledge the generosity of Pete Harmatuk, who donated a large "gem"-quality Carcharodon megalodon tooth to the Calvert Marine Museum. Among the other contributors to our collection, I would also like to recognize and thank Russell Channell for his significant contribution. One of his finds consists of the skull table (roof) of the Miocene Sea Robin, Prionotus sp. Bob Purdy (Smithsonian Institution) is to be credited with the identification.

I WOULD LIKE TO DISPLAY YOUR FOSSILS!

If you would like to display a selection of your fossils at the Calvert Marine Museum, I am presently looking for interested participants. What do I need from you: 20-30 fossils with locality data. .I will make up the labels that you will be able to keep once your fossils come off display. My number at the museum is: (410) 326-2042 ext. 28.

Letter From the President . Sean Kery '--• Mechanical & Ocean Engineer 7658 Lake Shore Drive Owings, MD, 20736 Email:[email protected] (410)-286-3456 May 17th, 2000

Dear Fellow Fossil Club Members,

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve you as your President of the Calvert Marine Museum Fossil Club. I'm new to this and would appreciate your input I grew up in glacier scoured New England which is nearly devoid of Fossil hunting opportunities. My Grandfather took me to the Peabody Museum at Yale University when I was 6 and I've been fascinated by fossils ever since. Reading of Cope, Marsh and the "Bone Wars" caused me to see it a whole new light when I saw it again last summer.

I have 4 children between 10 and 2 years old and will be limited in the number of events that I can attend. They are quickly becoming fossil buffs as well from our long rambling walks at Matoaka, Brownies Beach and Breezy Point If anyone is interested, perhaps we could plan an outing geared for children and grandchildren in the fall.

Many of my best specimens were not collected at the beach. A pail full of shell hash or concretions is heavy to haul back to the car but allows for hours of collecting in the comfort of your own home. This is an excellent way to build a collection of the smaller and more fragile shells.

Please feel free to email or call me with any suggestions, questions or news.

Most Sincerely

Sean Kery The Hunter by Jim Shaner

As I woke up to look at my digital alarm clock, the red numbers glowed in the dark, 3:02. If I had not awoken early, the alarm . would have filled the silent room with its appalling noise in thirteen minutes. Clicking the alarm off, I stealthily left the room to head for the shower. What coerced me on this Friday to leave my family for a day to drive south for 150 miles? It was the thrill of the hunt God endowed all with the urge to hunt. Food, water, shelter and a mate are the main objects of the hunt Being a middle age human male, I also have the desire to hunt. While some men go hunting for game, others fish, some play sports to hunt for a win or the best score, some hunt for a great photograph and last some hunt for knowledge. Whether it is the search for the final word of a crossword puzzle or an antidote to cure a dreaded virus, it is the quest for knowledge that drives mankind to the far ends of the earth and beyond. Forty-five minutes later, I carried the food and drink that was required for the day to my car in the driveway. The balance of my supplies was already loaded into car the evening before. Soon I was on Route 10 headed south through the moon lit rolling hills of Chester County, Pennsylvania towards the western shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. The morning's faint twilight started to fill the eastern sky as I proceeded through the town of Cochranville headed for Route 1 and then 1-95 south. My first glance of the Bay occurred while crossing the bridge over the mother of the Bay, the Susquehanna River. The river ended and the Bay commenced two miles south at Havre de Grace. It would be almost an hour more before I would see any parts of the Bay again. As the sun slowly rose, I was traversing the Francis Scott Key Bridge at Sparrows Point. Below me was one of the numerous estuaries that flow into the Bay, the Patapsco River, and to my left I briefly caught a glimpse of the Bay again. Then onwards south on Interstate 97, I traveled towards Annapolis. Skirting Maryland's state capitol, my car then continued south on Solomons Island Road, Route 2, and before long turned east towards the Bay and my final destination. The Bay appeared before me as I pulled into a parking lot. My mind reflected to the words of Ishmael in the novel, Moby-Dick, that men are drawn to the sea and all paths lead to it. On that day, I was no exception, but my mission was not like Captain Ahab' s objective, to kill the great white whale. My mission was to uncover the mysteries of the past and the beaches of Calvert County would be my hunting grounds for that day. For what was I searching, silver or gold coins of pirate ships of days past? No. Perhaps, it was Indian artifacts such as arrowheads ~ •.spearheads. No, but I have found several in the surf What I was looking to find was much older, fossils. About twenty million years ago, uthern Maryland was much different than today. First a warmer climate prevailed, similar to that of South Carolina of today. Also, there was a shallow sea that reached to Washington, D.C. That ancient body of water was teeming with aquatic creatures, some that still exist today and some that are extinct. There swam fish, porpoises. whales, turtles, seals and crocodiles. Along the sea floor were crabs, corals, barnacles, sand dollars, scallops, and snails. As these animals die, their remains were covered with silt and sand to be slowly turned into fossils. Today these fossilized remains are scattered along the beaches and in the cliffs of Calvert County. As these cliffs erode by nature, the fossils fall onto the beach or the surf below. They may be cleansed from their matrix by the action of the waves, then be swept out into the bay and then deposited later along the high tide line miles away from their original location. That morning, my car was the first in the parking lot. To me it is important to be one ofthe first people to search along the beach for its treasures. With fossils being deposited on the beach from last night's high tide, the easiest time to find them would be in the early morning. Armed with Ziploc bags in a funny pack, it's off to the water's edge. The tide was out and there were no footprints in the sand along the high tide line. In the surf, I caught a glimpse ofa small dark triangular object. Quickly my hand grabbed it out of the water. It was a fossilized shark tooth, one of many that I would find that day. Since shark teeth are one of most common fossils in the world, one may think that sharks may have been most common animal in the ancient seas~but this is not true. Since some modem day sharks replace their teeth as often as every eight days, the same was probably true with ancient sharks, with thousands of teeth being generated by each shark. These teeth are the reason for my search. Their size can vary from very minute (less then a sixteenth of an inch) to the king of all shark teeth, a six-inch megalodon. This rare tooth from a carcharodon megalodon is the object of most fossil hunters in the Calvert County area and the number one goal of my hunt. It comes from the largest flesh-eating shark that was ever lived. About 40 feet in length this gigantic shark was about twice the length of the modem day great white, the shark from the film, Jaws, and it fed on the numerous whales that existed in this area twenty million years ago. The megalodon is only one type of shark tooth and I collect them all, from the common small teeth such as the dusky, lemon and tiger, to the larger pointed mako teeth. Two other collectible teeth are the snaggletooth and the cow shark. The snaggletooth is also known by its Latin name, hemipristis serra. Its upper teeth are triangular and heavy serrated with its tip curved to the right or left. The cow shark has very unusual lower teeth. They are roughly rectangular with many cusps or cro~ns; similar to a blade of a jig saw. Shortly after finding the first tooth, I discovered several other small teeth along the high tide line. They all were placed in a liploc bag to be identified and sorted at a later date. Quickly I keep trekking to my favorite place, a sandy beach south of an area of cliffs. Some of the areas before my favorite were very prolific with me finding twenty to thirty shark teeth and several ray teeth in a twenty-foot stretch of beach, while some regions had no or few teeth. Soon I rounded a point only to see another person looking for fossils at my favorite place. Dressed with a hat, fIShing-vest and a necklace of shark teeth, this man sure looked like he knew what he was doing and he did. He sorted his discoveries as he found them, placing them in small glass jars in this vest. We conversed for a minute or two. His day was proceeding better then my day. Among his findings were a large mako tooth, two shark vertebrates, a dolphin vertebrate and many small-fossilized shells. We separated, each going our own ways. Twenty minutes later, I found a tooth with five cusps from a cow shark, a nice find for any day, but still no large teeth. As I keep walking north, I alternated from searching along the high tide line and the water's edge. My Ziploc bag contained only small and medium size teeth and a number of ray teeth. Soon I reached a stopping point and began to retrace my steps. In doing so, I followed the debris along a high tide line that I previously overlooked. Soon a gray object with small white lines caught my eye. There it was a megalodon tooth half buried, but after plucking it from the debris, I discovered that its root was missing. A tooth two inches long without a root was still a delightful addition to my collection. As the day progressed, I also discovered a total of234 shark teeth, my first compete shark vertebrate, a dolphin vertebrate and some bones fragments that only God knows of which animals they were a part. Though I found an incomplete megalodon tooth, I also know that somewhere along that beach will be a large perfect megalodon tooth. I did not find it that day but conceivably my next day, I will.

The winter meeting of the Calvert Marine Museum Fossil Club was held at the Calvert Marine Museum on Saturday, February 26,2000.

The fossil club members gathered at 1pm for our us~g of finds (show & tell), seventeen members took part. A number of specimens of dubious data were put out for possible iderrtification by anyone who might know anything about the specimen or where it was found. At I:4Spm Stephen called the meeting to order and made the following announcements: 1. A scale model of the exhibit being prepared with the two baleen whales was shown to the club. Hopefully this will be on exlubit by September. 2. Stephen announced that the larger of the two whales had originally been assumed to be ofthe Pelocetus, the largest of the Miocene baleen whales of the Calvert formation. David Bohaska recently examined the specimen and decided that itwas not Pelocetus because a scapula associated with the skull was not that of Pelocetus. Pelocetus has a very unique scapula, which does not match with the specimen we have. The genus is therefore yet to be determined. Dave Bohaska was thanked fOl:his assistance with this identification. 3. In the near future a schedule will be set up for the publication of the ECPHORA. Editor Mike Ellwood was thanked for an excellent job on the recently published edition. 4. On the subject of liability insurance - Larry sanders, the insurance broker for the museum, is preparing a policy and a price on a policy to be carried on the field trip director only! This policy will be paid for with funds from the Dryden endowment. 5. A request was made for prompt payment of club dues! 6. In the near future, a nominating committee will be appointed by Stephen in order to prepare a slate of officers to be elected for the next year. Stephen will be a part of this committee. Elections will be at the next meeting of the CMM-FC. 7. Stephen is currently working on a technique of "rapid-prototyping"; a technique using Cat-scan images to replicate full 3d images ofa turkey sized Chinese dinosaur. This work is being done in association with Philip Currie and Art Anderson. 8. Our attention was drawn to a "nifty" web site, which gives yout topographic map locations. These can be selected to various scales. It was suggested that this might be a great way of keeping track of the location of important finds. The site is: http://WWW..topozone.com. 9. Stephen showed several new and exciting recent acquisitions to the museum collection: • A skull, bothjaws, teeth, and several cervical vertebra of the seal Leptophoca lenis. Dr Irina Koretsky, an authority on Miocene fossil seals, recently studied this specimen at the Smithsonian. • A jaw of Callophoca sp.; a • Jean Hooper, one of our members, has donated a very rare specimen found at the Chesapeake Ranch estates. It is a partial skull of the electric stargazer (a bony fish), family Uranoscopidae. Previously the oldest electric stargazer was a specimen foundat Lee Creek. According to Robert Purdy, this represents the oldest specimen of its type known to date. 10. An exhibit is being planned for next year on fossil Sirenians (sea cows, dugongs, and "?-anatees).

The meeting was adjourned and Stephen departed to meet and greet our guest speaker, Dr James Clark, who spoke in the auditorium on the topic "Dinosaurs of the Globi Desert" The lecture was very interesting and well attended. A question and answer period followed. . ~~.: Minutes of the May 2000 Meeti~:·

Note!! These minutes are being recreated from the over-tired brain of the ECPHORA editor due to technical difficulties (commonly known as losing stuff when you move for the first time in 19 years.)

Members of the fossil club gathered at the museum to enjoy a period of show & tell and to enjoy the company of fellow collectors.

Stephen called the meeting to order about I: 15pm and started a summation of the past history of the club concerning the issue of insurance. After this introduction, he placed the subject on the floor for the club to discuss the subject further. Stephen had determined (with the assistance of the museum's insurance agent) that the club did not need an insurance policy due to the following 3 items: ~ All members are volunteers There is no remuneration for "guided field trips" • Field trip participation is voluntary. With the subject beaten to death yet one more time, it was agreed to accept Stephen's recommendation.

The proposed slate of officers was announced:

1. ElectedTreasurer:Secretary:VicePresident:Pres:Officers:PamChuckSeanSkip PlattKerySnelsonSoares • •

2. Non-Elected Positions: • Membership: Cheryl Snelson • ECPHORA Ed.: Mike Ellwood • Field Trip Co.: Rob Ertman & Stephen Godfrey

With a voice vote, all were accepted and thanked!

. There were more conversations and discussions, which have escaped the memory of the editor at this time, hopefully the interface between the secretary and editor will improve by the next issue.

LOWER PLUM POINT MARL FOSSILS by Pat Fink (This is the third part of a series on the stratigraphic distribution ~of the Museum's catalogued collection of fossils from Southern Maryland lnd nearby localities.)

The Museum's collection of fossils from the lower part of the Plum . Point Marl of the Calvert Formation (Ward's 1992 Depositional Event V; Shattuck's 1904 Zones 4 through 9) have been collected from the stretch of cliffs between Chesapeake Beach and the willows. In this area the base of the Marl, marked by an bed of Pycnodonte percrassa which can be traced for a few miles south of Chesapeake Beach, is succeeded upwards by beds described by Shattuck (Maryland Geological Survey, 1904, pp lxxv-Ixxvi) as greenish to greenish-blue sandy clays with scattered layers of Corbula elevata [Varicorbula elevata]. According to Gibson (Gernant et aI, 1971, p. 11) the shift from the diatomaceous beds of the Fairhaven to these sands and clays reflects an increased flow of sediments from the raised Appalachian source area. Ward (1992, p. 5) recognizes an unconformity at the top and base of this part of the section and describes it as the lowest of "three marine pulses punctuated by brief diastems." These sediments also fall wi thin Ward's (1992, p. 18) Mollusk Zone 13, which he interprets as reflecting warm• temperate to subtropical conditions in a shallow shelf or protected lagoonal marine depositional environment.

The lists which follow summarize the finds which have been col• lected from the cliff beds or from carefully identified slumps. Although several "major" finds have also been collected in this general vicinity--gomphothere teeth, a Morus humerus, a Leptophoca lenis [seal] ~jaw with teeth, Delphinodon remains, etc.--and may have been derived from these same sediments, they were not collected in situ and, hence, are not included in the following lists.

Many of the invertebrate specimens included in our collection found between Brownie's Beach and Randle Cliff were contributed by Chuck Soares. Most of the shark teeth and other vertebrate fossils were found and donated by Dave Bohaska together with Wally Ashby, Norm Riker, Dick Soper, Cal Taylor, Bob Brown, and other members of the Fossil Club.
