from
Wikipedia
The county is also home to a quarry that has proved a rich source of pre-historic whale and shark skeletons.
The whole county is located in what was in ancient times an ocean.
It is known to palaentologists as the middle Miocene Calvert Formation of Virginia.
A whale skeleton discovered there in 1990 was proved to be a new whale species ( see Eobalaenoptera harrisoni ).
