Shark Tooth Hunter Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Here are a lot of fossils from Calvert Cliffs Maryland in the U.S. They were found along the beach and in the cliffs. There are mostly miocene shark teeth like snaggletooth shark, tiger shark, lemon shark, mako shark, sand tiger shark, and a few cow sharks. Besides that, there shark vertabrae, whale bone fragments, porpoise teeth, ray plates, and an odd shell imprint fossil. Calvert Cliffs is a huge strech of beach along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland. It is known for the huge cliffs that can reach huge heights of 30 to 40 feet. Fossils can be found in the cliffs and along the shoreline. It is known for megalodon teeth and other miocene shark teeth. Occaisional reptile and mammal fossils can be found there too. Thanks for looking. Shark Tooth Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vordigern Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 nice collection, my daughter and I are planning on making a day trip down to Calvert Cliffs in the next 2 weeks. we were there once back in '99 when she was 4 but it was only our 4th hunt (and first to Calvert Cliffs) so we were still learning how to hunt and only did ok. We went to Matoka Cottages, is that where you hunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
