Family Science: Shark’s Teeth

 My mom had a beach cottage on the Chesapeake Bay for twenty years.  It’s a fun place to visit if you like to hunt for fossils, especially shark’s teeth.  The beach area was a little north of Calvert Cliffs State Park. Fossil hunting is permitted.  The beach is littered with fossils.   Here is a website with the ten best places in the U.S. to find shark’s teeth.  Another top site is Venice Beach, Florida.  We have family near Venice, Florida.  Many of the beaches south of Sarasota have shark’s teeth.  Here is a guide to identifying shark’s teeth.  Here is a guide for the fossils at Calvert Cliffs. Below are a few fossils I saved from family trips to the beach in Maryland.   Let me warn you!  Fossil hunting is addictive!  Plan a fun family field trip!
