This article contains a list of fossil-bearing stratigraphic units in the state of Maryland, U.S.
The Conemaugh Group is a geologic group in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Monongahela Formation is a geologic formation in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous and Permian periods.
The Williamsport Sandstone is a sandstone geologic formation in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. the formation includes the Cedar Creek Limestone member. Near Cumberland, Maryland it includes the Cedar Creek Limestone member. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Greene Formation is a geologic formation in West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. It preserves fossils dating back to the Permian period.
The Potomac Group is a geologic group in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period. An indeterminate tyrannosauroid and Priconodon crassus, a nodosaurid, are known from indeterminate sediments belonging to the Potomac Group. The Potomac Group was initially believed to have been Late Jurassic in age by Othniel Charles Marsh but later studies, such as Clark (1897), have found that the Potomac Group is in fact Early-Late Cretaceous (Aptian-Turonian) in age.
The Frederick Limestone is a geologic formation in Maryland and Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period.
The Rockdale Run Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Patapsco Formation is a geologic formation of varigated clays, sandy clays, and sand in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and in the subsurface of New Jersey. It preserves fossils such as plants and molluscs dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The St. Marys Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland and Virginia, United States. It preserves fossils dating back to the Miocene Epoch of the Neogene period. It is the youngest Miocene formation present in the Calvert Cliffs and is part of the Chesapeake Group.
The Old Church Formation is a geologic formation in Virginia and possibly Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Oligocene epoch of the Neogene period. It rarely exposes on land and is under-studied. However, deposits from this period are rare and the Old Church Formation likely contains many scientifically significant taxa. Ward (1985) recommended placing this formation in the Chesapeake Group.
The Choptank Formation is a geologic formation in Virginia and Maryland. It preserves fossils dating from the Miocene epoch of the Neogene period.
The Jennings Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
The Matawan Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Monmouth Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Talbot Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period.
The Helderberg Formation is a geologic formation in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
The Tomstown Dolomite or Tomstown Formation is a geologic formation in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. It preserves fossils dating to the Cambrian Period.
