Congrats on that croc tooth. Nice way to start the day. They aren't all that common there. I would have to see large individual pictures to confirm if you have any Otodus there. Complete, unbroken individuals are about as common as the croc teeth- in other words they're pretty rare. Sand tigers come in a variety of sizes and shapes and constitute about 90% of the finds. I can see that a number of your "otodus" finds are in fact sand tigers but I can't be sure about all of them. The shells you showed are modern. In fact the Potomac beaches are covered with modern shells, primarily gastropods. Fossils shells are there too- primarily internal molds and usually in matrix except for the abundant oyster shells washing right out of the cliffs. All in all a nice sample of what can be found there. Multiple trips there should build up a collection of the rarer stuff. A very rewarding site in my opinion/

Here's some pictures of ones I am unsure of , one extra question, are cretolamna teeth uncommon or sought after? The second one would be cretolamna right?
