Submitted by Daryl Serafin: Below are two fossil specimens that I found along the Maryland side of the Potomac River, along an area which has a Paleocene - Aquia formation exposure. I've never seen anything like this before and am wondering if they are some sort of mammal teeth. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Submitted by Daryl Serafin: I found a really awesome Meg and had my camera with me on this trip so I could capture the moment of the "reveal".
Submitted by Mark Bennett: Below are pictures from the 2009 & 2010 Tucson Fossil Show.
Submitted by Daryl Serafin: Below are the best finds from several trips earlier this winter. Most of the teeth were found by sifting. Not much is found surface collecting these days
Submitted by Caprice Roche': Glenn Roche' took his daughter fossil collecting along Calvert Cliffs a couple weeks ago, and below are some of Caprice's nicer finds. Glenn got skunked! These are three mako's below: Isurus desori (left), Isurus hastalis (middle), and another nice Isurus hastalis (right).

Submitted by Ron Coleman: Below is a specimen that Ron found last month from a Miocene exposure. The crown of the tooth appears to have a wear pattern on it as shown in the picture. This is usually indicative of an opposing tooth coming in contact with the crown and wearing down one side. We believe this tooth is a sperm whale tooth, but the end of the root is a bit odd compared to other sperm whale teeth. If you have a better idea as to what this specimen is, let us know via email (above). UPDATE: Dave Bohaska (Smithsonian NMNH) confirmed that this specimen is a sperm whale tooth, from the species Orycterocetus crocodilinus .
