My friends and I took a trip to Calvert Cliffs this past September, and boy did we go at the worst time! The weather couldn’t have been nicer, but even though the skies were clear, Hurricanes José and Maria tag-teamed the east coast causing coastal flooding. THE WHOLE WEEK. And the tides never went down for us.. Somehow we managed to find a few teeth – and a few cow shark teeth! I was pretty stoked about those, and the gorgeous scallop shells!

Day 1 – St. Leonard. Pretty pitiful!

Day 2 – Brownies Beach

Day 2 Brownies Beach – also pitiful!

A Chesapecten fossil scallop – They were weathering out of the cliffs! I found this one in the surf.
