  1. Hi all, I am currently in Maryland and Virginia on a hunting trip through Saturday and Sunday. My friend and I have been collecting the Potomac River at Purse State Park and another locale, but have been rather disappointed with the poor amount of shark teeth. They’re also all tiny, can’t really recommend those sites personally. Just too over picked. We have a decision to make regarding where we go next. To go to the James river and York river, or to the Chesapeake and Calvert Cliffs/ the Cabins. I personally would like to find more variety in shark teeth and at least one croc tooth and crab claw, so I’d like to do the Miocene of the Calvert Cliffs. I also would really like to find a dolphin, porpoise, and or whale tooth. Is it worth going? I should mention I lack boat/kayak access and can only really beach comb or sift the waves. Is Calvert too over picked?

    Calvert Cliffs Fossil Query

    Hello fellow fossil fans, I am a new member of this forum and a (very) amateur fossil collector. I found something yesterday at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland that I am struggling to identify. Can anyone shed some light on this object for me? Much obliged!

    4 complete megalodons in one trip

    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!
  4. I often find these items south of calvert cliffs, but not grouped together. Could they be sea urchin spines or is it some sort of plant?

    Unknown Shark Tooth

    Me and my dad were fossil hunting in the Calvert Cliffs Formation in Maryland, at brownies beach when my dad found this beauty. I thought it was a bull shark at first but upon closer inspection I am unsure as it hooks off at the end to the left. If anyone can identify this it would be much appreciated!

    Head Scratcher

    Hello everyone! I am going to share this rather confusing tooth. I found it under a section of cliff whose major tooth producer was likely Zone 12, definite Calvert Formation (which is early Miocene, creeping up on mid Miocene). It wasn’t found in situ, but the state of the tooth is almost perfect, leading me to believe it had worn out not long ago and likely not a trade tooth. Given this tooth without context, I would call it a Galeocerdo cuvier. But, given the context, this should be impossible, Cuvier are supposed to have arisen latest Miocene or early Pliocene. But this tooth is the spitting image of a G. cuvier and exceeds the size of any G. aduncus I have seen. I’ve shown it to a few seasoned collectors, and they can’t think of one of this size either. I only know of one tooth which approaches it from this area, and it does share the cuvier look, and I’ve just asked the owner what he thinks. What do you guys make of this tooth? First gasps of cuvier or is this just what aduncus start to look like when they get massive? Tooth dimesions: slant height: between 1 and 1 1/10 in Width: 9/10 in I apologize for the lack of natural light.

    Fossil tour guide?

    Hi there! my name is Tim George. I am fairly new to the fossil hunting hobby and was wondering if anyone knew someone who could perhaps take me and my dad on a fossil hunting trip. I am looking for people who do tours of either the Calvert formation,Aquia formation, or the Nanjemoy formation. Thank you.

    Venus Clam

    Collected from matrix deposited in the Chesapeake Bay by landslide. These shells are extremely fragile and are not to be found loose on the beach. Most disintegrated when I was working the matrix. This specimen was donated to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.

    Ray Plates

    From the album: Breezy Point, Calvert Cliffs Maryland 9/16/16

    Assortment of ray plates. The plate top right is one of the biggest plates I've ever found intact.

    Shark Teeth

    From the album: Breezy Point, Calvert Cliffs Maryland 9/16/16

    Another view. The tooth second from the left towards the top is very smooth and black from years of being worn down by water and sand. This tooth is most likely a mako but it doesn't point straight up, so that makes me wonder if it's a sand tiger.

    Shark Teeth

    From the album: Breezy Point, Calvert Cliffs Maryland 9/16/16

    Here's another view of the teeth with special attention to the larger fragment near the center. This piece is most likely a great white or other large predatory shark. I doubt it's a megalodon, but it could be or one of it's smaller cousins. I've found meg shards at the cliffs before.
