From the album: Fossils
Otodus aksuaticus shark vertebra form the base of the Woodstock Member of the Nanjemoy Formation, Early Eocene. The diameter varies from 3 to 3.25 inches. -
Ok, two fossils here. I think the first is a crocodile vert - found in the Aquia formation or Purse/Nanjemoy in Maryland. Is that right? Any suggestions on how to clean it or whether I should? Not sure what the other piece is, but I would guess it is turtle shell. Found in the same general spot. Can someone help with the ID? Thanks, folks!

Good evening, brand newbie here. We recently went shark tooth hunting on the beach at Purse State Park in Maryland and along with sand Tiger/goblin/mackerel shark teeth, Gastropod internal molds, stingray dental plates, I collected a few other items that seemed unique. I looked online at some fossil sites for the Paleocene era but man I have to admit I was ready to toss these. Figured it was worth an ask here. I used the centimeter side of my ruler to take photos of each of the items and will post each in a separate post.

I found this at the beach at Purse State Park in Nanjemoy MD. I don’t know what it is but it’s a metallic material. Wondered if anyone could help identify?

I spent Wednesday morning (10/5) at Purse State Park for the first time. I was the only one there the entire time. It probably helped that it was on a Wednesday and it was raining sporadically. As soon as I stepped foot on the beach, I found a broken tooth. The water had small rough waves. I put my hand in it and scooped up a handfull of gravel and in the first handfull, I found 3 teeth. It was a pretty fun day.

Here is a photo of either a fish or bird bone. Bone appears to be solid. Muddy Creek, VA. Nanjemoy Fm. Eocene

This seems to be a Sullivanichthys mccloskeyi fish jaw. Muddy Creek VA. Nanjemoy Formation, Eocene. Can I get confirmation?

First photo was taken from above, the bottom photo is a side view. Muddy Creek VA. Nanjemoy Formation, Eocene.

These two jaws are similar to the ones shown on page 87 of Publication 152. Could they be Scomberomorus stormi? I don't see any teeth, just asking. Muddy Creek, VA. Nanjemoy Fm. Eocene

Drove down from Jersey to Douglas Point on Tuesday. Only my second time there, and I was worried that I'd make the 4 hour drive and it'd be crowded. Only one car when I got there around 1pm, and another pulled up as I was unpacking my gear. The narrow beach was pretty much open as the first vehicle was a family wayyy down over to the left playing in the water with a raft and the other was a lone fossil hunter hand searching the tide debris line. Beautiful day and I guess my take was pretty much around average for the site. I'm quite fine with that and I look forward to returning. Moving to the north (right, when you come out onto the beach) the cliffs made me a bit nervous so I stayed away. Some of those trees have their entire trunks hanging out over the ledge. I'd be surprised if they haven't fallen by the time I return.

Went out to Douglas Point (Potomac River, MD, Paleocene, Aquia Formation) on June 5th, first time taking the kids and we had a great time. Found a lot of sand tiger teeth as is typical. But this one has me a little stumped. The crown seems too wide at the base to be a sand tiger tooth. Could it be a small or juvenile Otodus? Or is it some kind of sand tiger after all?

I found this weird thing a few weeks ago while fossil hunting at Douglas Point in MD, it's clearly not a fossil, but I have no idea what it could be. The grid in the photo is 1x1 inch, and the whole thing looks and feels like metal but it's lighter than you would expect. My best guess is that someone was melting a lightweight metal for some reason (recycling?) and a stray glob landed on some rocks or debris, creating those hollow spaces? This beach is kind of in the middle of nowhere though, I can't imagine why someone would be doing that. Any guesses welcome!
