The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Douglas Point Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) is located on the east side of the Potomac River in southwestern Charles County, MD. Douglas Point SRMA is part of the Nanjemoy Natural Resource Management Area (NRMA) which is jointly managed by the BLM and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). The area is accessible via the Potomac Heritage Trail that is about one mile south of the junction of Liverpool Point Road and Maryland State Route 224. The SRMA is open to hiking, wildlife observation, fishing, and beachcombing – which includes fossil collecting on the State of Maryland-owned beaches. The SRMA and vicinity was host to human occupation over thousands of years, and BLM has interpreted the historic Chiles Home Site in an area of colonial settlement that began in the 1650’s. Today, the beach along this part of the Potomac River is a popular fossil shark teeth collecting area amongst amateur collectors. This report is a description of the geology and paleontology of the Douglas Point SRMA along the banks of the Potomac River with some recommendations for management of the paleontological resources.
