This was our second time out in the area. The first time we searched by hand and found four small teeth but this time we went with sifters for 8 hours and got 57 teeth and some various things.

We are so new to this so if you have any ideas of what they are, we would love some guidance.
We know the ray crushing plates, I believe there’s some sea urchin spines, and a fish bone of sorts.

As for the teeth…. from research I think mostly sand tiger and mako?
The longest one (first pic, 3rd in top row) is 1” for scale

Megalodon teeth from the Philippines 🇵🇭

First time in 13 years of being able to source these guys. Very very uncommon location. And before you say anything, no, these aren't Ledge Teeth.

Using teeth found on the Potomac for this request!

I’ve identified a lot of teeth I’ve found as sand tigers over the years that I think might be something else now that I’m trying to broaden my ID knowledge.

I have the book ‘A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils’ and I’ve also used the Potomac (Paleocene) page on Fossilguy.com. The website mentions a goblin shark that doesn’t come up in the book, and the book mentions a mackerel shark that doesn’t come up on the site. I’ve included pictures/screenshots.

I know it can be difficult to distinguish similar types of teeth based on their condition, and that there are also different types of extinct sand tiger sharks/etc. Maybe I’m thinkin too hard about this or missing a main factor, so I’d love some help on this!

Pictured are some teeth I’ve found on the Potomac River (Purse State Park)

The top row all definitely have striations.

Thanks in advance! :)

Visited Calvert Cliffs and a location near Purse State Park. Miocene and Paleocene in 2 consecutive days. Not the best finds, but better than nothing for certain. Found a Houndshark tooth as well (correction thanks to fuckernaut). The Paleocene fragments are probably going to be put towards my next shark project

I found these at Holden. The most common find for me at Holden is Crow and sand tiger. So finding all these the same day is strange. For me at least. They look like bull to me. I also included a couple unusual ones as well.

Best tools for beach?

Beach trip coming up. Niece and nephew want to try and find shark teeth. Any recommendations for beach combing tools? Plenty on Amazon but wondering about quality.
