Kimi64 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi everyone, I went to Flag Ponds in Calvert County yesterday & found this interesting needle-like tooth. It is 2.5 cm long. It has a channel up one side that is just barely wide enough to get the edge of my fingernail into. Any idea what it is? I do love finding the oddball fossils! Thanks. Update, I uploaded a different photo. You would never know that this is sitting directly under a 60 watt bulb. Imagine a "crying emoji" sitting at the end of this sentence!!

MeargleSchmeargl Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Higher resolution images with more angles and better lighting? Can't really tell what it is (though do from first impressions, it doesn't look like any shark tooth I've ever heard of). Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indominus rex Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yes probably a fish spine and not a tooth. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimi64 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 A catfish, hey, I will take that. Always nice to add something new to the collection. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have found many of these at Calvert Cliffs. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
