1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoThat’s what I’ve started leaning towards. Molars. The closest reference I could find was a dolphins ear bone, but they don’t seem to have the flatness. I believe there are land mammal fossils at this beach too. I’ll research more.

1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoThanks l-m! I was able to find a reference with pics from the same formation. Miocene crab claw. I for get which beach I collected this from and the formations tilt into the earth along the Chesapeake Bay so the beach matters as to which formation. I believe I got it at Calvert Cliffs Park which would be the St Mary’s formation and late Miocene.

1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoI added a couple more clear pictures. Clearly not a rock. Taken from a beach with an exposed St Mary’s formation (15-30 mya).

1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoI will a bit later. These came from a beach well known for early-mid miocene fossils.

1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoDoubt it’s a crab claw. It’s solid not shell. It’s from a beach with plentiful early to mid Miocene fossils which makes me think crocodile or small toothed whale.

1 year, 10 months ago1 year, 10 months agoDefinitely not a rock. Appears to have had an inner core and serrations. (This is my 7 yo sons post)

probably not
-
can you put more views and a scale? nothing says very, but it does look like maybe a fossil of some kind
-

Updated pics. From an exposed St Mary’s formation. 15-30 mya
-
if anything, they look like flat grinding molars

Horn coral

doubtful it’s horn coral. tooth is a possibility, but probably just a rock

Worn crab claw?

funny shaped rock

@smoran, @matthew-gramling, or @bill-heim could help.
-
the updated pictures show that it’s a crab claw. and it’s clearly not solid, but hollow. it’s just been filled in with sediment

definitely looks more bonelike now. it has the porous nature of a bone.
-
First Impression is rib bone but probably not. definetly bone.
-
limb bone is more probable

don’t see any fossils there. nice minerals and shells though
-
Make sure to always protect your fossils from other fossils/rocks! Always wrap them up in a paper towel or a handkerchief so they don’t get scratched and never put them on the bottom! I have seen so many incredible specimens tossed in backpacks to never look the same again. It’s very tragic
