Fossilized Shark Tooth

Fossilized shark tooth in a mini, decorative 2ml bottle. Tooth was found on the shores of Calvert County, Maryland. 

• During the Miocene era, Southern Maryland was under a subtropical sea (the Salisbury Embayment) that served as a breeding ground for marine life, providing abundant prey for sharks.
• The iconic Calvert Cliffs are continuously eroded by rain, wind, and the Chesapeake Bay, washing new fossils and shark teeth onto the beaches, particularly after storms.
• Dozens of shark species lived there including the Megalodon, along with whales, rays, and dolphins, leaving behind immense numbers of teeth.
