Charles County is on Maryland's Coastal Plain Province, underlain primarily by undeformed, loosely consolidated Tertiary and Quaternary sediments. Bedrock is rarely exposed, but when it is, it can yield interesting fossils and materials such as diatomite and glauconite. The best places to find outcrop is in fresh excavation or in bluffs along the larger rivers, especially the Potomac. Much of the County is covered by Tertiary upland gravels eroded from the Piedmont, Blue Ridge and Appalachians to the west. These gravels can contain interesting float minerals such as blue quartz pebbles.
