Me and james rth member jhaddad8 went two days ago to Calvert Cliffs Md to do some fossil collecting .. While we didn"t do as amazing as you will see on youtube we did good enough to merit a successful trip I would say . Here"s a few pic"s I took with one with James in it screening . I would greatly appreciate any Id"s especially the big tooth in the middle which after looking at pic"s online I am thinking maybe mako ?

The curved tooth in the first pic is a tiger shark. They are the only sharks I know of that have curved, bladed teeth like that. The tooth in the second pic, lower left that is pointed and with a U shaped upper body is a sand tiger. Hard to say with the upper right tooth in the 2nd pic since I cannot see much detail. Either a sand tiger or mako. The three to the center bottom are lemon shark teeth. And the broken one on the bottom right looks like a species of Carcharodon, either carcharias or megalodon. The large specimen in the last photo does not look like any shark tooth I have ever seen. Looks more like the structure of a claw instead of a tooth, especially with the hollow looking space at the top.

wow ! thanks Jame"s I was thinking meg on that other broken one as well .. the claw like one is definately different .. and my favorite find that day .. there is a light line or crack that runs down it you can see and the other side is smooth ..it measure"s at its longest points 3/4" by almost half inch wide near the top .. it appears hollow but filled in with sandstone mix and quartz under loupe .. really want to get a positive id on this one .. gunna try posting on fossilforum ..

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
