rapp beach and creek hunting

[Rowboater]

A trip to the beach, didn't yield much, some badly worn teeth (no shrimp coprolites!) The water is super clear, should be good after the next good north blow.  Deer season is over so tried the creek in the woods, unfortunately the water was up (and cold) and leaves everywhere.  Found a new spot and worked it for a couple of hours with nothing spectacular. Less sand tiger spikes there?  Found a puffer plate (had not seen any in a year or so), the pretty red mako (more red-bronze than the scanner shows; no root but may go to someone for jewelry), and several  small and colorful teeth.  No angel shark teeth, no cowshark teeth, and only a few drum teeth.  Always amazes me how different the yield is, reproducibly in some older spots, not sure of the new.  Slightly different depth or time originally?  Or maybe mixing after washing out and re-sedimenting in holes?

Forgot the measuring tape.  The red mako is right at an inch or 2.5 cm.

Those are some awesome finds.

Good finds! I'm gonna be hitting a spot down south on the Rappahannock soon. Find a 2 inch mako last year.  Hope to find something good this time

Very Nice!

Wish I could get out every once in a while up here! 

Weather has not been too cooperative here. 

Thanks for the report!   

Reading these is the next best thing.

Larger tooth upper left.. what does the other side look like? Nice finds...

[cck]

I mean it looks like a juvenile or posterior Meg ?

[White Feather]

great finds, love seeing what others find and learning more! I am heading to caspersen beach Fl  tomorrow, hope to find some shark teeth!

@cck Here are a couple of scans of the tooth (I don't know what it is.)  The bulging side is difficult to scan.

I was thinking it had similarities to one of these? 

[Rowboater]

@cck  Nice tooth! It does look like it could be, but is in rough shape.  There is evidence of serrations on the blade, but too worn to be sure.  @rand95 @Northern Neck @Fossildude19 @White Feather Thanks everyone for your interest!  Took another trip out in the warm "beach" weather (water icy!)  Lot of small teeth, several shrimp coprolite burrows, a skate stinger and a broken corner from a skate plate:
