Maryland Summer Center for Paleontology

We are the Maryland Summer Center for Paleontology. Our goal was to find as many sharks' teeth as we could. We have been to three different sites:  Brownie's Beach, Scientists Cliffs, and Matoaka Cabins. We used a variety of tools. (To see tools go to the Methods page.) We found 882 sharks' teeth. There were 24 middle school students that participated in this camp. We found most of our sharks teeth in Brownie's Beach.
