Guided fossil hunting trip on the Chesapeake AND a Lifetime Membership to NHSM

As an NHSM Lifetime Membership (value $750) member you will receive discounts on many of our programs—from lectures, workshops, and courses offered in our museum—to canoe trips, nature walks, and fossil hunts in the great outdoors. PLUS Personalized one day guided fossil hunting trip for a Covid-19 compatible group (presume one family/one car) to a restricted access beach in Calvert County, Maryland. This site is known for an abundance of Miocene Calvert Formation fossils, in particular a large variety of teeth and shells. Large Otodus (Carcharodon/Carcharocles) megalodon teeth (megs) have been found at this site, along with fossils and teeth from whales, dolphins, rays and many other sharks. We will provide directions and meet you at the site. Parking space is limited and restricted on this private property, hence the one car limit. The trip will take place on a mutually agreed upon Fall 2021 weekend day when all parties are available and when the tides are low and hopefully the weather cooperates. You can keep what you find, and we promise a unique fun and educational experience. As a bonus, we will probably see Osprey and maybe a Bald Eagle. No extra charge! About Your Guides Adrien Malick is a fossil curator at NHSM who grew up collecting fossils on Chesapeake Bay beaches. Nick Spero is a biologist who is a walking talking encyclopedia of the fossils you’ll be looking for and the nature you will encounter. ---- Description of the prize items and raffle rules and details can be found at https://www.marylandnature.org/get-involved/raffle/
