Isognomon Nursery?

I brought home a limb of matrix that had fallen out of the cliff the other week. It dried out and chunks started falling off, revealing a teardrop-shaped shell and a pair of scallops. I carved through it, gluing the heck out of the tear-drop shaped shell the keep it from crumbling, and working all the way around the exposed shells so as not to break them. I found maybe a dozen 1/2-inch or smaller molds and lots of paper-thin bits of broken shell. When I finally dug out the exposed shells, I realized what the rest was-- broken bits of Isognomon maxillata, baby ones, a whole bed of them! I talked to my friend at the Delaware Museum of Natural History, who was also intrigued. He's going to take the remaining lump and examine it carefully under the dissecting scope to see what else might be in there. Lots of things predated the oysters, so could be some interesting micros in there! -
Well i went out on the Pax today and the mud that has been covering the beach from the high tides a couple weeks ago is finally almost gone. I got to look at some material that has been buried under all that mud and came away with a 2" mako that as you can see was trying its best to hide from me and a bunch of other teeth too all in all not a bad trip!

Hello all! I found these on a recent trip to Brownies beach. I am not completely sure but I have an idea of what these may be. Can I have your opinions? Thanks!

Hey guys! I took my second trip to Brownies beach! I found 180 shark teeth, a porpoise tooth, an almost complete ecphora, and some type of land mammal tooth. Also, if anyone can help me identify the land mammal tooth while you’re here that would be awesome. Here are my favorite finds.

Here are two gorgeous Carcharocles chubutensis teeth from the famed Calvert Cliffs of Maryland. Just acquired these yesterday from a trusted collector and friend. I'm building a plaque revealing the evolution of C. megalodon and one of these will be right next to the Meg.

So the water levels were the lowest they have been since April. I walked in the heavy cobble that hasnt been visible in months and came away with a pretty good haul. Then the waves picked up and took away the visibility bad not a bad day at Calvert Cliffs!

Well, I know we just finished talking about tooth of mine, but I have another I need some help with. It's rather odd looking, but is so unique, hopefully it isn't hard to figure out. Thanks everyone.

Hello everyone! I took a trip to Brownies Beach today in search of fossils. These were some of my favorite finds today! I found roughly 120 teeth, mostly very small.

So the water in the Chesapeake has been crazy high lately but today it got down to a somewhat normal level so i grabbed my new fossil hunting hat and i hit the beach. The water was not too high but there was not too much too be found except for a stellar giant thresher!!! I think my new hat brought me good luck!
