Lightning strikes again at the Potomac

I was able to sneak in one more hunt with my wife before her surgery tomorrow, we had a beautiful day to go too! The only downside was that the water was extremely high (full moon and/or winds) and she had to spend two hours on a conference call for her work while I was free to search. For the most part we had the beach to ourselves, a couple of people wondered down and were curious about what we were doing so I gave them a quick lesson on the area...a few minutes later one of them came back with a smile on his face and asked if a bone fragment was a fossil. He was ecstatic when I confirmed it for him, his first fossil ever...and he added on to his collection with a few shark teeth as well.

I sifted on and off and I found my second complete cow shark tooth, if I keep this up I may challenge @WAHAMA90 for the title of cow shark king (not likely). I've got a couple of unknowns, maybe geologic, take a look and see if you can identify them.

 

Total haul:

Nice finds! I do think the item in the first pic is turtle, but I don't know about the others.

Great cow shark tooth! I think both unknowns may be turtle, first one pretty sure of.... second one is harder to say for sure

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

@RCW3D just wait till you see my cow shark tooth collection. :muahaha: Very nice finds! @WAHAMA90 you and I need to go out sometime. I'm hitting up some sites in VA in a few weeks to some well known Ecphora sites. Love this little predatory snails. :wub:
