    Hi :)

    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🥰
  2. 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.

    What teeth are these?

    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!
  4. 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.
  5. Found on a beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Height is approximately 1.3 cm / 0.5 in.

    a few shark teeth IDs requested

    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:
  19. 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.
  20. 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?
  21. 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!
  22. 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.
  23. I was on a good run with bottom lateral cow shark teeth in a new spot (seems to have ended lately; thought it would get better in the winter but footprints everywhere). While most cow shark teeth I had found in the past were rootless and broken, they were easy to identify with the multiple points, and by serrations on the first spike (or so I thought). I have a fair amount of these serrated first spikes. Recently I found two "pathological" bottom lateral cow shark teeth (out of less than a dozen I had found there). I've been looking hard but not finding much lately. I gathered up most of my previous collected cow shark teeth and looked at the serrations on the big first point. I was surprised that, while not as obvious as the first two, several had serations on a separate smaller first point, some seemed to have fused large serrations, and many could just be loss of serrations with weathering. The scan is of most of my bottom lateral cow shark teeth, all from Middlesex county VA, from three hunting spots. In one spot, where most broken and small teeth are from, almost all have serrations on the first spike (most of those in the right four columns). The ones from the recent spot and similar from other spots (left two columns) are much more variable: some have small spikes rather than serrations on the first spike, some have a small spike with serrations, several have fused serrations, and some are weathered but no obvious serrations on the first spike. There of course is overlap. It's unclear if this is just normal variability that varies by hunting site, or if the new site has a different subspecies. The new spot has a lot less shark teeth beyond the interesting cow shark bottom laterals (seems I would have found a symphyseal by now?) Mostly just the same I usually find, but less teeth. A few interesting things, will need IDs and will post soon. @flyersfan805 has a nice collection for comparison (and I'm sure there are others):
  24. 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!
  25. Largemouth Bass

    Parasymphyseal Hemi?

    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.
