Newbie Fossil Hunter, Found A Nice Tooth At Calvert Cliffs

Recommended Posts

Found a nice little tooth at my first trip to Calvert Cliffs yesterday, came late in the day and couldn't stay long but it was a beautiful find and a great start to my collection


I don't know my fossils but I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say it's a baby mako, it's only about an inch long.

Welcome to the forum and to fossil collecting!

You are correct, you have found a mako tooth and a nicely colored one to boot. One thing to note is what you have called the front is actually the back of the tooth.

Thanks!

Hahaha when I was labeling it I was like "watch me be wrong about what's what"

Thanks for the info! I'll remember!
