Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Area Fossils and Other Fossil Sites in Delaware
The most common fossils found in Delaware are large clam and oyster shells and sharks teeth. As you travel south in the state the fossils are younger and younger. Generally fossils found in New Castle County date from 60 to 100 million years ago, fossils in Kent County come from 12 to 17.5 million years ago, and those in Sussex County date from less than less than 1 million years. Delaware offers several good sites for fossil collectors, and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is the best. When the canal was built, several formations having fossils from the Cretaceous Period (144 to 65 million years ago) were exposed. Fossils found there represent life forms that existed for a good portion of that period of time and that lived in a shallow sea or along the seashore.

The preservation of fossils and the natural geologic processes are included in this mission. Indeed, the diversity of the fossil record in the National Park System is great. Petrified leaves, wood, pollen, shells, bones, teeth, eggshells, tracks, borrows, and coprolites have been found in more than 145 National Park System units. Collectively, these fossils provide a comprehensive history of life in the areas that are now national parks from the Precambrian stromatolites in Glacier National Park to mammal bones from the Ice Age throughout the Alaskan parks.

Dr. King describes the rock units and correlates them with rock units elsewhere in the Midcontinent region. He interprets their environments of deposition, and also places them in the context of larger-scale geological processes taking place in the Midcontinent region and around the globe during the Pennsylvanian Period.

Chesapeake Bay Struck by Comet - Read all About It !

FOSSILS AT THE CALVERT MARINE MUSEUM There are many fossils on display at the Calvert Marine Museum. But why? During the middle of the MIOCENE epoch, 10 to 20 million years ago, a shallow ocean covered Southern Maryland . At times the sea spread as far west as the present site of Washington, D.C. Rivers flowing from the Appalachian mountains to the Miocene sea carried mud and sand which built up the layers of sediments now exposed as cliffs along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. As present-day rain and and waves erode the Calvert Cliffs, new fossils are exposed daily. the vast majority of these fossils are the shells of clam and snail species that lived in this warm shallow ocean. A diversity of shark and stingray teeth are also fairly common. Sometimes, the remains of fish, turtles, crocodiles, oceanic birds, extinct whales, long snouted dolphins, seals, and sea cows are also discovered. Since the sediments were accumulating in a marine environment, the remains of land animals are much less common. Nevertheless, occasionally parts of Miocene peccaries, camels, horses, elephants, and rhinos among others, are found. The paleontology exhibits at the Calvert Marine Museum include original fossils of all the known groups of sea shelled animals that occur in the Miocene deposits of Calvert Cliffs, as well as the remains of vertebrate species (sharks, fish, whales, land animals, etc.) from this prehistoric time.

http://geology.er.usgs.gov/paleo/groups.shtml
The Major Fossil Groups
Fossils can be grouped and studied in many ways, by size, habitat type, or phylogenetic groups. Large fossils like dinosaurs, corals, echinoderms, and macro-mollusks ( macrofossils ) were the primary emphasis of paleontologic studies in the 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's, because they were easily recognizable in the field and did not require special equipment to study them. As new and better microscopes were invented, more and more paleontologists began to use microfossils to solve a variety of geologic problems. Microfossils currently are the preferred tools at the USGS. These small fossils are generally much more widespread and abundant in sedimentary deposits than larger fossils, and because of their size, much smaller samples can be collected. Drilling of coreholes, which obtains important rock samples from beneath the earth's surface, has made microfossils an indispensable tool because only occasionally will macrofossils be preserved in the two-inch diameter cores that are the product of most coring operations. In this section, you will learn about each of the fossil groups that are being used to solve geologic problems at the USGS.

Index fossils are commonly found, widely distributed fossils that are limited in time span. They help in dating other fossils found in the same sedimentary layer. For example, if you find a fossil from an unknown era near a fossil from a known time, you can assume that the two species were from about the same time. Examples of index fossils include:
  • Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), They were not found after the Cretaceous period, as they went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya).
  • Brachiopods (mollusk-like marine animals) appeared during the Cambrian (540 to 500 mya); some examples still survive.

Overview
Modern paleontology sets ancient life in its contexts, by studying how long-term physical changes of global geography (" paleogeography ") and climate (" paleoclimate ") have affected the evolution of life, how ecosystems have responded to these changes and have changed the planetary environment in turn, and how these mutual responses have affected today's patterns of biodiversity . So paleontology overlaps with geology , the study of rocks and rock formations, and with botany biology zoology , and ecology , fields concerned with living creatures and how they interact. Palynology is the study of pollens, whether modern or geological. Two major subdivisions of paleontology are paleozoology (animals) and paleobotany (plants). Paleozoologists may specialize in

78. OLogy
To solve these mysteries, paleontologists use fossils. fossils are the remains or traces of ancient life that are usually buried in rocks.
http://ology.amnh.org/paleontology/paleodefinition.html
Paleontology is packed with mysteries about living things such as plants and animals that lived thousands, millions, and billions of years before the first modern humans. To solve these mysteries, paleontologists use fossils. Fossils are the remains or traces of ancient life that are usually buried in rocks. Examples include bones, teeth, shells, leaf impressions, nests, and footprints. This evidence reveals what our planet was like long ago. Fossils also show how animals changed over time and how they are related to one another.
While fossils reveal what ancient living things looked like, they keep us guessing about their color, sounds, and most of their behavior.
Most ancient living things never became fossils. When they died, scavengers ate them, they decayed, or they were worn away by wind and water until they disappeared. Some were destroyed by Earth's heat and pressure. Luckily for us, some living things were preserved as fossils.
Most of the fossils of living things will never be found. They may be buried too deep, or they may be in the parts of the world where no one is digging. Many species probably left no fossils at all. Still, plenty of fossils have been found, and new ones are being discovered all the time. Each year, paleontologists continue to piece together the stories of the past.

Advice for Students and Parents
Paleontological Research Institution
Ithaca, NY There is no luckier person than the person who can make their passion their career. Most professional paleontologists are just such lucky people. They are people consumed with a passion to understand the history of life on earth. Paleontology is fun, thrilling, and fascinating, but it is also hard work. It is not "easier" than the more traditional "core" science disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, or geology. In many ways, paleontology is more difficult than any other science because to be a good paleontologist you must know a great deal about all of these fields. Paleontology is among the broadest of sciences.
What is paleontology?
What background do I need in high school?
The best starting point is a college preparatory program with as many science and math courses as possible. Outside reading in paleontology and visiting museums with fossil displays is helpful for building up knowledge of fossils themselves. No matter how interested or knowledgeable a student is in paleontology, however, good overall grades in high school are almost always required for admission to a good college or university, which is a necessary prerequisite for a career in paleontology.
