Calvert Cliffs formation, Matoaka Cabins, St. Leonard, Maryland; November 26

Most of these are fossils from the Calvert Cliffs, some are newly deceased contemporary critters. I'm still working on identifications. The very center is a a piece of fossilized sand dollar and just above it is an enormous barnacle fossil. All the horseshoe crabs are freshly shed (not dead). I think all the oyster shells, coral and scallops are fossils. The crab and mussels are not.
