Summary[edit]

Description
English: Plate IX from Tolchester Folio, Maryland, which has the following caption:
BURIED FOREST IN TALBOT FORMATION REPRESENTED BY STUMPS OF TREES WHICH ARE EXPOSED BY RECENT EROSION ON SHORE SOUTH OF BODKIN POINT, ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY.
Large cypress stumps standing upright on the beach were embedded in peat of the Talbot formation. The 20-foot cliff has been cut back and the stumps uncovered during the last 30 years by marine erosion.

The text of the Folio states:

Several old bogs are exposed in the quadrangle. The most interesting one is about a mile and a half south of Bodkin Point and another is well exposed a mile northwest of Battery Point. Others of less importance are on the east side of Gibson Island, on the right bank of Galloway Creek near its junction with Middle River, at Grove Point, and on the west side of Eastern Neck Island. In the first three localities mentioned are cypress stumps of large size, some as much as 10 feet in diameter, and many cypress knees. (See PL IX.) The peat bed in the third locality is now so nearly worn away that it is exposed only at extremely low tide. The last two localities contain beds of lignitized stems of small size.
