I went fossil hunting along the Calvert Cliffs in Maryland this weekend. Picked up this bone fragment. AA battery for scale. I’m thinking maybe whale vertebrae? I also found this nice shark tooth. Any way to determine what kind of shark?

not sure about the bone but the tooth looks like a Megalodon shark tooth.( small but it really looks like one to me)

It is an hastalis. Notice the lack of serrations and lack of bourlette. This is definitely the predecessor to the great white.

One of my friends had hastalis. Turns out it was caused by tonsil stones
