One beach hunt and two digs yielded four cow shark and a bunch of small teeth, some of which may have been in my last photo. The cow shark, my focus, are all new but frustrating; cannot say for sure if two really have non-serrated first points. Possibly broken? Too much cold water in the creek to hunt for a few more days.

Hello everyone my name is Bonnie, I am new to this group, but not new to fossil hunting, I have hunted fossils along the east coast of Virginia in my entire life but really became engulfed in the last three years, I look forward to sharing my findings and learning more each day🥰

I went down to westmoreland state park today, and I found these 4 these, the smallest one looks like a small bull shark tooth and the other 2 look like some hammerhead. The biggest one is something I’ve never seen before. It is still serrated and is sharp, I found it on fossil beach and the other 3 on the main beach. Please help as I don’t think I am right. Thank you!

Several trips. Will be digging more soon, deer hunting season's over. I miss global warming lately. Usual cow sharks, eight. Some times I think the "vein" has run out. Some little sand tiger. At the beach after the recent storm, a bunch of makos (up to just over an inch, 2.6 cm), a weathered small hemi, and a few bigger sand tiger. A broken skate denticle/ scute. The reddish makos tend to fade with time (maybe oxidation?) Another big wind storm tomorrow, hope to hit several beach spots next week.

Found a few teeth not sure what they are. The biggest teeth in the photos are just under an inch (~2.4 cm). I thought the first was a big lemon shark tooth, but it clearly isn't (no serrations, blade slightly broader than the teeth below). Ventral mako? Both sides shown: The second I'm hoping is an upper cowshark, but not as weird and twisted as usual:

Well I booked a trip with Stratford Hall to do a fossil trip. If your going, be sure to PM me so we can say hello. I figured for 35 $ it was a decent deal get to explore more of the beach and I guess they have a few local people who know the geology well. The other option was 10 $ with limited beach access and no one to give me some geologic advise. If I like this one there is another in October I’ll sign up for again. Has anybody on TFF ever been to one of these events? Thanks Chris.

Went out after a big rain to an old favorite spot The creek was full of sand. First two stops, first two to three hours only yielded 20 or so teeth. Went to a spot I thought I had cleaned out a month or so ago and was pleasantly surprised to get into a bunch of teeth (mostly small, many broken). Worked hard screening for almost another hour. FOUR cow shark teeth, however three broken; the best one was "classical" serrations on the first point, not sure about the broken ones (two COULD have serrations separate from the first major points? But not definitive.) Don't find many hemis ("snaggletooth") this one was nice, about an inch long. Three tiger shark teeth, the biggest one not real big, but in great shape. A few small makos. An angel shark tooth and five drum teeth. The "usual" sand tiger spikes and gray shark triangles. An interesting one (middle of the second scan) has a big root and a small blade. I thought a weird lemon shark tooth, but the root is too big and the blade seems short and squat but intact. Any ideas?

Nothing too exciting, typical trip, highlight the perfect mako. No cow shark teeth last two trips. A lot more activity in "my" spots. Overdue to find something really nice!

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.

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 suspect that this little tooth is a parasymphyseal Hemipristis based on others I've seen on this site, but I'd like a confirmation or correction on the ID. Tooth is from the Calvert formation.

From the Calvert formation in VA. The shape of this specimen suggests cetacean tooth, but the hollow tip and keratinous feel make me doubt it.
