This new site I’m going to is kind of starting to grow on me! I really love the abundance of well preserved shells and the sharks teeth that come out of here (if I don’t break them) are in superb condition. I arrive at this site, however, with some disappointment. Footprints everywhere, and discarded rocks piled in a pile i know I didn’t leave with a bunch of broken shells. It looks like someone took the liberty of smashing rocks with a hammer and leaving the place a mess for others. Not a good look to be honest I always try to clean my area and make it look better than where I left it. The good news is whoever the eager beaver was left some goodies behind. I searched their rock pile of discarded rocks and found a lot of shark teeth in very good condition that were just left there. I wonder if this person was too busy picking up pennies to notice the quarters they were stepping by? Anyways here’s the haul, luckily I didn’t have to put in too much effort since this person did all the hard work for me: total haul: shark teeth (not in the rock): crocodile tooth (happy about this one!): shells: Shark teeth in the rocks: And the killer tooth of the day: Most of these finds we’re not made because of me ripping rocks out Willy nilly, but because of me sorting through said rocks after this person ripped them out Willy nilly. Always be thorough with your excavation and be patient. You never know what might be hiding in the discard pile. Part 2 of my trip to the Chesapeake will be posted tomorrow!

Woah. Is all I have to say to this trip. Finding one of these was going to be a trip maker, but I found 4 complete megalodons. I’m really stoked. Also found some nice hemis, sand tigers, dolphin vertebra, bone, and etc. 3 of the megs were posterior but the fourth was a nice little cream Meg. Just a shame that I couldn’t get 5 today (just kidding). Here’s the haul. Bone frags and verts: small shark teeth: broken shark teeth: Meg and friends: The bay was just perfect. Had the whole beach pretty much to myself the whole day. Going after a storm apparently is the best. Thanks for reading!

I found these on Matoaka Beach, Maryland a week ago. I found some of these that have bone and shell in them. I also found turtle shell fragments and other bone fragments. I think they are just iron concretions of some sort, but since I found bone in some I question whether there may be something else to them. Any thoughts?
