Kev Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 This piece is so small that it's difficult to get a good pic but let me know if you think I should try again. It was found in a creek in Maryland about 20 miles inland from the Calvert Cliffs. Found several fossil shark and ray teeth there. I'm pretty confident this is a jawbone with one tooth still attached but would like to know what it belonged to if anyone has any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Please take images from directly above the specimen. Take shots of all 6 angles - Top, bottom, left side, right side, front, and back. My first impression was shrew or mole, but better pictures would help.

Sjfriend Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Definitely looks like a jaw Great job Spotting this. Better photos needed to be sure of what. The tooth will be the main focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Here are some additional pics. I think I'll have to get a better camera to tease any more detail out of the tooth than these. The tooth is so small it's difficult to see with the naked eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
