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.

The shark teeth were unearthed in a creek in Huntingtown, the department said, which called the teeth a “cool find” and “jaws-dropping treasures.”

Huntingtown received roughly 8 inches of rain since Saturday, FOX5 reported.

“They’re huge!” one Facebook user said of the find.

“Awesome,” another wrote.

Around 20 years ago I went to Calvert Cliffs hoping to find something interesting. I think I found 1 or 2 very small shark’s teeth. Around the same time I drove to Miami, and somewhere in Florida I found a man selling nice big (2 to 3”) teeth which I bought for a very reasonable price.
