I’m a little late to getting around to posting this but it’s been a hectic week so far at work. I kayaked back out along the Calvert Cliffs last weekend and the weather was absolutely beautiful, getting close to if not over 80 degrees for the last weekend of October. I got on the water early to watch the sun rise and then started hunting. The nice weather definitely brought some more hunters out, with other kayakers, boaters, and jet skiers coming to the beach soon after landing. As expected it was a little slow but I still managed a nice little megalodon measuring 1.46” and a nice hastalis measuring 1.43”. As I was slowly checking out the shell line on the way back I found two micro megs, and a few dolphin teeth to finish the day off. All in all a great trip, love finding teeth and kayaking along the cliffs on a calm morning is just peaceful. See y’all next time!

Found an interesting ray tooth mixed in with about 300 more i'd found on a recent trip down to MD. Dimensionally, tooth is about 1" long and matches other teeth from the area. That being said, the color and porous texture do give me pause about the tooth not being mineralized

Hi! First, thank you to everyone who responded to my older post asking for fossil hunting tips- I used as many as I could and I found some great stuff! Here's what I found and can't ID myself from my latest trip to Flagponds (Calvert MD). I was thinking 11 might be snaggletooth shark, and 19 and 20 looked like they might be from some kind of white shark though I'm not entirely sure? In addition to those I'm especially interested in identifying 1, 3, 4, 5, 8-9, and 13 but haven't been able to so far. I'd appreciate any help identifying these and the other teeth I have pictured! 36-48 are possible bones and bone fragments which I thought might have some potential for ID. If different angles or views are needed for any of these I'm happy to take more pics! Lighting in my house isn't ideal so these are the best I could do without taking pics of each bone/tooth individually. Oh they posted all out of order, sorry about that!

Hi everyone, I just found this tooth last week at Brownies Beach. First I thought it was a broken mako, but the serrations in the edges and the fact that the tooth is hollow at the base, makes me think that in fact,this is a tooth from a Squalodon. Thanks for your answers

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are going to attempt another trip to Calvert Cliffs next weekend. We would love to find a megalodon tooth or vertebrate fossil. We have hip wader and are thinking about going to the Matoaka Beach Cabins and walking north. We were thinking of going a few feet into the water, where larger material has been sorted, and using a sand scooper. For you seasoned experts out there, does this seem like the way to go? I would love any advice! Thanks, Peter

Calvert Cliffs - Driving from Andrews Air Force Base on Fri Afternoon - Advice Request
Paleodad5 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Calvert Cliffs - I plan on driving from Andrews Air Force Base on Fri Afternoon (22 July) to fossil hunt. Any advice on where to hunt? I brought my neoprene water boots, sifter, and small shovel. Anyone interested in hunting with me? I am also planning on a Saturday morning hunt. I have a 15:30 flight out back to TX, so I figure I could get to Calvert Cliffs by 06:00 and hunt several hours.- Houston Gem & Mineral Society, Paleo Section Member
