Jdeutsch Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I assume these are all from the same type of creature- but the darkest tooth has slight irregularities on the concave surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajnthony Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Nice Claws. I included a picture of fossils we have found at the cliffs. The two fossils on the top are crab claws and the fossils on the bottom are croc teeth. All were found on beaches along Calvert Cliffs. Hope this helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Why would a crocodile have crab claws? Is this one of the those fad things I haven't heard about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigHyatt Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Why would a crocodile have crab claws? Is this one of the those fad things I haven't heard about? It's a sort of disguise. Ever heard of crab cowboy boots or wallets?

Thepaleontologist101 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Yep they're stone crab claws. Nice find though. If you're looking for shark teeth I would recommend going to bayfront park just outside of Chesapeake beach. You'll need to use a gps to get there. When you do go to the left. There should be a stream leading back into a swamp. Look closely as many small teeth drift down the stream and into the bay. I would recommend going just after high tide as you are now longer having water flow into the swamp. That area is also good for oyster, scallop, and other mollusk shells. Occasionally you may find crocodile teeth dolphin teeth and stingray crusher plates and barbs however they are rather rare. There is a fee to get into the park usually however often times there is no one there to collect it. I hope this will be useful to you and happy hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
