steviefossils Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Took my first trip out to Calvert cliffs state park this weekend. Got there as early as I could, which started me at high tide. Beach loaded up with people throughout the day. And from what I saw, nobody else found any teeth. So I consider myself lucky with the hastalis I found. The roots were just barely showing, I think a wave may have just uncovered them. It was a long day round trip from NY but worth it. Also found some scallops. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vae70 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Really cool. CCSP is usually a complete bust for teeth but contains a lot of cool invert material or misc bone fragments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still learning about the cliffs, and plan to return to MD. Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Steve Volume of people typically, sharks teeth in general are the perfect cross between easy to find and cool to collect so tons of new collectors or children will focus on finding them over other fossils. I notice this a lot at the popular public (read: not requiring a boat/kayak to access) locations in MD like CCSP, matoaka beach and flag ponds - teeth get picked out immediately while other invert/bone material isn't searched as hard for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to that with the brooks I search in NJ, summer months when kids are on vacation the brooks can be quite bare. Thank you for the info!
