Recommended Posts

Picked this up out of the Chesapeake Bay today 9/9/24. Measures approx 2.5" long by approx. 1" wide at the widest. This is from an area where in the past I have found 3" and smaller megladon teeth, eardrum fossils, and hundreds of other fossilized teeth, etc. Thanks for any help in identifying. (Apologize for the last photo it was a little blurry).

Reminds me of a whale tooth, although I know very little about cetacean teeth.
