heidinicole Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Wondering if someone could tell me what kind of tooth this is. I found it walking along the water at Elm's Beach, Maryland. Would love to know what type of tooth it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 You sure that's a tooth? It looks like a polished shell to me, or maybe in inside of a spiral shell, like a conch. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil-Hound Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I've been searching the shores of Maryland for years and have recovered hundreds of teeth. This is definitely not a shark tooth but rather a small segment of a broken scallop. Here's an example of a tooth I just found a few weeks ago: Some beaches yield little to no shark teeth while others yield a lot and constantly yield more and I'll give you a hint as to how to find more teeth especially the large species such as C. megalodon: study the age of the cliff formations along the coastline particulary the western interior and then think about the relative existence of the large sharks such as Hemi's, C. chubutensis, and C. megalodon. Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Welcome to TFF! I agree with the others-- it is a piece of a shell. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
