High water and cold weather, but still found teeth.

Hello everyone, I’m M and I’m very new to this site, my love and curiosity for fossils is also in its early stages. But I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I made my page last week but work has kept me from my intro and posting content. Thank you all for having me, and I’m around if anyone wants to chat sometime.

Hi there, just dropping an intro to show face. I guess this is where I talk about myself? Not very good about these things. I'd say my interest in paleontology started on a family trip in Colorado when I found the jaw bone of an elk in a stream my cousin and I were cutting through on the way home. With the teeth intact even! The feeling I got turning over those rocks to uncover it set off a love of discovery and my hobby. I look forward to delving into all kinds of strata of conversation and discussion here with you all. Thanks for having me!

Hi! I like to collect rocks and have visited Calvert Cliffs Beach several times to look for fun rocks and shells. The last two times I was there, I found these teeth-looking fossils. Can anyone help ID them? Thanks! Rachel

Hi everyone Not much new to report this summer, so that is why I haven't posted in awhile, but I found something interesting while fishing last weekend on the Potomac River near the mouth of the Port Tobacco River. It is about 6 cm wide at it's widest point. Any help with an ID would be greatly appreciated.

Nice day for hunting. I took a co-worker with on this short search. These are his finds.

My wife and I took a trip fown to Maryland late last week for a little calvert formation hunting at Bayfront park. As i mentioned on another post we got to the beach at quarter to 7am and had the place to ourselves for a while. Nobody was there to collect our access fee so we walked down to the beach just after low tide. One set of footprints were just above the surf line but i never did see who made them as nobody passed us either direction all day. We both found a couple of small teeth on our walk from the enterance to the corner that juts ou. My wife decided to stay in yhe corner and screen while i walked further south. For me it was a very slow pick of small shark teeth and a small cetacean tooth by the time I returned. My wife found a small cetacean vert where she set up to screen. More smalls than i remember from my last trip, or maybe we were just better at spotting them. She found her first Squatina subserrata tooth. Here's our finds, scale on the right is in inches: Close up of some of the smalls, these are under a quarter of an inch and we were lucky they stayed in our screens (and that we saw them): Makes me think I should try a multi layered sifter stack just to see how much micro material is falling through.

A 6mm tooth from purse park, MD. Galeorhinus Ypresiensis? Maybe too small or too worn to know?
-
Hello everyone, Ward from, well, originally from Arizona, but now living in Maryland. I like to collect it all, Meteorites, fossils, antiquities, WWII relics. Most of the fossils I have in my collection come from the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. A few weeks ago I made a trip to Brownies Beach and came home with a nice little collection of sharks teeth. I had a great time hunting for them and can’t wait to do it again. Love, love, love hunting for stuff.

I had around 50 similar small teeth lumped together from flag pond in Maryland. After zooming in on them, half were serrated and the other half were not. Now I have two piles of small teeth. I’m learning a little more each day. The first tooth had no serrations, the second had worn serrations, and the third had obvious serrations.

Hi there, Newbie here. Just started fossil hunting in late April. Got hooked at the beach in North Carolina. Live about an hour and fifteen minutes away from Chesapeake/Calvert Cliffs so have hunted about five or six times so far. Apparently, summer is not the hunting season there. Hasn’t stopped me though. Look forward to learning and sharing. Kerry

What would you classify this tooth as? I have a bunch of these curved teeth? Flag Pond, Maryland.

This past weekend we stopped in for a few hours at Matoaka cabins on the way home from St. Mary's City (a cool non-fossil historical destination). We found several readily identifiable small teeth and ray plates as well as a few drum teeth and a handful of shells. My guess with this tooth is a posterior cow shark tooth or Carcharhinus? Measuring tape is inches on top and metric on bottom. Thanks, Adam

I’m not sure what type of tooth this is. Maybe Notorynchus/Cow?

Hey guys, I'm going to be in Maryland on Monday and will hopefully visit the Calvert Cliffs. I am unfamiliar with the area and would like to know what the best M.O. for the site is. Thanks, -Shoe

I only had one sand tiger tooth so I went here to get more. It was a great day for collecting.
