njcreekhunter Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hey everyone. Once a year me, my brother, and father take a trip to calvert cliffs and spend a few days there. We usually go to brownies beach/bayfront park, the potomac to look for paleocene fossils, and sometimes we go to flag ponds. I've found some nice megs and other teeth at brownies and have a few nice otodus from the potomac. This year we were thinking of trying westmoreland state park in virginia. We were wondering if it's worth it to go there? We're hoping to go to a spot where we have the best shot at finding a larger meg. Any other spots you guys can recommend? Thank you very much for any help you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 As a fellow New Yorker might I suggest Aurora, NC or anywhere in SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The legally accessible beach at Westmoreland is very limited, and gets hit pretty hard. Still, there are nice fossils to be found, but luck plays as big a role as skill and experience. As tempting as it may be, do not trespass on the Stratford Hall beach; it is patrolled, and they arrest.

squali Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Westmoreland is a beautiful campground. I've found a few nice teeth and some whale bone there but it is a limited collecting site. The 'museum' is interesting. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
