SITE UPDATE: Reptile bones found by Paul Olsen in gray shale for the first time September 19 and will be posted in the near future....

Mahantango Seas is being replaced with a research site devoted to Late Triassic (tentative dating: Basal Gettysburg Formation) fossils of Frederick County, Maryland. Please address all communications to paleoplastic@earthlink.net.


In the weeks ahead we will include stratigraphy and pages showing the dicynodonta tracks, lizard (Rhynchosauroides) tracks and skin impressions, millipede, cricket and beetle tracks and beetle larvae, more fish, freshwater clam shrimp, ostrocods, bacterial matting, algae drag marks, cycad and fern material, and paleoenvironmental indicators (raindrop slabs, mud cracks, ripple marks, etc), and anything that shows up in the meantime. We have really only begun to explore this unique 145-acre site. Virtually every fossil being found is new to Maryland, and some new to science.
