Good finds along Calvert Cliffs

Had another early morning today, first time out since the time change so getting in the water for sunrise was a little difficult. None the less I launched the kayak around 6am and watched a beautiful sunrise on the water, then got to the beach to begin searching. Not to long after getting to the beach I found a great hastalis measuring 2.02” (my second biggest) and a few steps away found a nice little cow shark tooth! It slowed down from there finding a large fish vert (my largest) with the rest of my finds being a little further apart. Talked to a fellow fossil hunter on the beach who found a beautiful megalodon around 2.5” with great color, I was a bit jealous but it’s always nice to see other peoples finds. On the walk back to the kayak I found a nice little micro meg and some dolphin teeth to wrap the trip up. Another great day on the bay, I’ll be back soon!

Nice group of finds!

Those bigger teeth are rarer than hen's teeth, from what I have been seeing on the Forum. :)
Well done!

Nice haul!

 

I believe the vertebrae to be from a tarpon

You’re not wrong! It was mostly buried in the sand and I thought for sure it was gonna be broken!

Thanks! I was curious about the fish vert I figured tarpon, wahoo, or barracuda.
