Heavy rainfall in Calvert County, Maryland over the weekend led to a toothy discovery, the state’s department of natural resources announced Monday: prehistoric shark teeth.

“Awesome,” another wrote.

These JAWS-dropping treasures emerged in a Huntingtown creek as a result of heavy rains this weekend.
...here's another angle of it.
Nice teeth!
I never find anything interesting.
Not guilty!
Lord have mercy!
Damn nice teeth......
I found one of those once when I was young......Megalodon.............

I have a quartz (or whatever it is) arrow head just like that. I found it in a farmer’s field when I was a kid.
WOW! Those are huge!
Where’s the tooth in the pictures?
What shark teeth?
Well, what do you know, they are yuge!
Damn nice teeth...
I had no idea we had so many fossilized shark teeth enthusiasts here!
Better be careful, you could get hurt on those.
It’s...a MEG!
Just tell MEG to shut up.
I found a fossil digging tour crowd that I have bookmarked for later.
hey you’re right!
If you look careful there IS a sharks tooth in that photo!
It took me a while to find it.
My grandpa...loved to fish an hunt and so did I....
One day....I was walking down this small creek and fishing it's holes....came a cross a fossilized big tooth. Probably a Mastodon...or something like it.
Showed my grandpa,...and he suggested I loan it to the local museum.
I did....along with a buffalo leg bone...that I had found also.
Many, many years later....I went to that little museum..to re-claim my dino tooth....and it was nowhere to be found. One of the past curators stole....anything of value,,and vamoosed with it.
The guy was a teacher in that town...and a jerk. Ticks me off to this day.....
