Bjohn170 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 For my last hunt of 2023 I got back out to the Calvert cliffs, launching my kayak a little after sunrise I made right to the beach. The water was still a little high when I arrived (I feel like it’s been higher on average this year) but I found a nice shark vertebrae and a 1.62” hastalis before low tide. Finding a few smaller teeth for most of the walk, I then at the end of the beach where I normally turn around found a nice epiphysis disk, sitting out in the water. Now for my walk back the water was nice and low, and freshly washed out, sitting on the water line was a gorgeous 1.78” Megalodon! The root is starting to wear, but the blade is perfect, great serrations, tip and all! Continuing back I find a nice tympanic bulla (whale ear bone) my first on this beach. Last but not least as I return to my kayak, sitting about two feet away is an amazing upper cow shark tooth! A lot of variety for the day in addition to the normal shark teeth finds, another great trip and a great way to end the year! Thanks for reading, see y’all next year! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andúril Flame of the West Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Beautiful meg and shark vertebra! I hear that the vertebra tend to be fragile, so congrats on finding one in such great shape. Glad to see that you were once again rewarded for enduring the cold. Happy new year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love finding whole shark vertebrae, as you said they are very fragile, I found 3 broken ones as well that day. Happy new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Megalodon teeth are always a treat to see! Unfortunately they're very rare here in the UK, but I hope to find one someday. Maybe I'll have to visit the US for that to happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
