There are Pleistocene-Recent deposits around the south side of Baltimore.  Also, shelly silt is widely used as gravel for roads, etc. in the coastal plain.  If you can identify the species, that would help figure out the age of the deposit.  The Maryland Geological Survey has some helpful references; most are out of print but might be in a local library.
