ajnthony Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 We would appreciate confirmation on the identification of these items we found on a beach in Calvert County near the cliffs. We had the whole beach to ourselves today. No other fellow fossil hunters in sight. We are guessing because of the heat. We found more sharks teeth than we ever have as well as some other interesting items. We believe the first item is a dolphin tooth. It is about an inch long. The other item we have no idea. Never seen one like this before. It has the markings similar to a skate crushing plate but doesn't seem to be one. Any and all help is much appreciated as always!
mrieder79 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 That doesn't look like any of the dolphin teeth I ever found there. I guess it could be very worn, though. No clue what the second one is. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver.

ajnthony Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 ~.jpg ~9.jpg Thank for editing my photo. Looks much more detailed! Any ideas on what it could be?
Auspex Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Structurally, it looks to me like it might be a very worn piece of ray dental pavement. At least that's what the tube-like porosity says to me.
