I had the fantastic luck to find a 2" Otodus obliquus both of my last two trips out, one of which with a neat little pathology. The 2" striatolamia was another outsatnding find, I can still count on my fingers the number of teeth this size I've found in the Aquia Formation. Thanks for looking and happy hunting! .

I got back out to the Potomac river yesterday to search along the Paleocene exposures for some more prehistoric treasures. I got to the beach around 8am and had a couple hours till low tide, the water was calm and clear enough to where I could easily see out in the deeper water. Pretty soon after beginning my hike I found a really nice 1.23” crocodile tooth rolling around right on the shore line. It slowed down for a little while after that only find a couple busted Otodus teeth and a nice sand tiger here and there. Once I got around the bend to my favorite stretch of this beach, where I’ve found most of my better Paleocene finds, things began to pick back up a bit. I found a nice tiny crocodile tooth tumbling in the wash, then only a few steps later I see a beautiful 1.48” Otodus partially buried in the sand! Before reaching the end of the beach I also found a large ray plate fragment and nice shark vertebra! The walk back was slow with the waves not churning up much as I’m walking back in my footsteps, I already a nice haul for the day so it didn’t bother me. It was another great day along the river, thanks for reading. Bonus picture from another Paleocene trip a couple weeks ago, the water was murky and high and I didn’t find enough for a full report but I did get a nice ray plate, Otodus and a heartbreaker!

I found this tooth on a dredge island in georgia it’s probably the biggest piece of megalodon tooth ive ever found and was wondering if theres any experts that could say how big the tooth was whole. Ive done some speculating with a drawing but wanted other opinions.

From the album: Fossils
2.4 inch Otodus aksuaticus shark tooth from the Eocene Nanjemoy Formation of Maryland. This is a good example of the transition from obliquus to auriculatus, with serrations extending about halfway down the crown.-

Shark Vertebra (possibly Otodus/Carcharocles auriculatus or angustidens) from the New Bern Quarry in North Carolina

From the album: Fossils
1.5 inch lamnid type shark vertebra in matrix from the New Bern quarry. Not sure if this is from the Oligocene River Bend Formation or the Eocene Castle Hayne Formation. If you think you recognize which formation this is from, leave a comment.-

This is my largest megalodon. It measures 5.17 inches slant height. I found it on the James River and from it's appearance I believe it is from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation. -

This 4.5 inch meg was found at a land site in central Virginia along the contact of the Eastover and Calvert Formations. The colors make me think it is likely an Eastover tooth. -
I found this in Summerville back in early January, the shape seems a bit different than most angustudens I've seen and I was wondering if I've finally found a confident chubutensis. Any thoughts? Thanks! (4cm in length)

I just got a package today of fossils from Morocco. Most were just your common mosasaur and otodus teeth, etc. But this one just doesn't look right. Can someone please help me identify it? It looks like a rather wide Otodus tooth but has a prominent ridge running down the middle. It also has a very large root and the tooth sits on quite an angle from the root. Appreciate any help. It is 2 1/2 cm across at the root.
