This is a "doomed" outcrop of the Miocene-aged (~14 Ma) Calvert Formation on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. "Bed 14," a distinctive fossiliferous unit, is exposed here thanks to the effort of one of the local landowners.

A lovely exposure (though rather harshly lit) of the contact between two Cambro-Ordovician limestones in the Shenandoah Valley. Geologic map of the site is here: ngmdb.usgs.gov/ngm-bin/pdp/zui_viewer.pl?id=14868
The same contact can be seen in the vicinity of Strasburg, Virginia, here:
