Cold and breezy days, couple of rather unproductive trips, cow shark teeth wise. Need to try a new spot. Did find one, while comparing it with others, noted some have serrations on first tooth, others don't just like bottom laterals. Unfortunately not sure which one is the new one. Bonito nose, two colorful sand tiger, and two tiny tiger shark (?) teeth (scanned both sides) among the bunch.

The places I hunt were over-run for the summer (particularly the place with 'different' cowshark lower laterals), so I took some time off. Less buggy now, beautiful time of the year (most times are!) Hit some old spots, mostly broken. Biggest tooth (hemi) is just over an inch long. Seemed more colorful, but still having issues with scanner.

Hit the old and new spots. Three puffer plates and a bonito nose (not rare, but not that common here), two makos, one small (1 1/2") but pretty, one broken near root, looks hollow. An angel shark, and bunch of sand tiger and smallish gray shark teeth. And "only" one cow shark. Suddenly hot in Virginia and lots of people outside. Pollen is horrible, kept trips short.

Still chasing cow shark teeth, five from the "new spot" plus a seven point cow shark (possibly missing an 8th point? Rare for seven points, usually the last one is minimal) from a beach. ( The one to the right may show some separation of serrations from the big point, but not obvious.) The weather has been nice and the tooth hunting areas busy. Someone asked if I ever get skate "crusher" teeth; they are very common (30 years ago we didn't even keep them). So I scanned some from recent hunts. Numbers on tape are cm. No makos lately? The cow shark teeth spot doesn't seem to have many makos.

Recent finds. February may be a bit warmer than March? I have two twisted teeth with large bases, which I think could be upper cowshark (but only one point?) and several small makos, plus "the usual" sand tiger, angel shark, drum "teeth", and gray shark. Always good to get out!

I have found more bottom cow shark teeth this year than my whole tooth hunting experience. I was wondering why I only find the bottom ones lately when I came across this weird one. I cannot see too well, and thought it was just another bottom cow shark tooth, but at home it is clearly different. It is roughly the same size as the other teeth, but is missing the small coarse serrations on the first point instead having three bigger points. (Sorry for the poor photos, but my scanner is not working). I see a similar one at the Calvert Museum website (no explanation I could find) and another similar posted claiming to be a pathological symphysial tooth. Any other ideas?

IDs please! a small shark tooth, a mammalian tooth, and two small pieces of bone/ earbone?
Rowboater posted a topic in Fossil ID
The mammalian tooth has two worn cusps missing points. The small tooth is serrated, the small blade sets up from a thick root on the labial (?) side; when set on a flat surface to scan, the blade sticks in the air like an angel tooth. The lingual(?) side of the blade has a vertical ridge down the center (also like angel shark tooth, but the tooth while small is much bigger than my biggest angel shark tooth. pretty little tooth. Tried placing on edge of a small vertebral "cookie" but didn't scan well. Not sure the two bones have enough left to identify; remind me of whale ear bones but much smaller and thinner. Interesting shapes, both sides.- 4 replies
