Mjsimet Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hey Everyone, Found this odd meg-tooth shaped thing last weekend hunting around Calvert cliffs area in Maryland. Hopefully the images suffice. But seems to be mostly iron (?). Does anyone know what this is, or how it formed? Looks like it may have been a meg tooth at one point? I am new to fossil hunting so forgive my suggestions if they are way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Not really sure what you have. It does look like it could be a meg tooth without a root. How heavy is it?

Troodon Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I agree it's hard to tell what it is. Can you take photos of the crown area and add more light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobiting Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Maybe a C. megalodon or C. chubutensis. "Fossils have richer stories to tell about the lub-dub of dinosaur life than we have been willing to listen to." - Robert T. Bakker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I agree that it's not clear, but unless there is enamel on it I think ironstone may be all you can say with any confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think I can see barnacles in the "root" area. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think it might be a bivalve steinkern. Good photos with better lighting would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
