Finally, a theropod! It's just a fragment, however. -
While my prime focus is essentially learning how to accurately describe Nature in the precise language of mathematics, I've always been intrigued by natural history - it's actually what started me on the path to physics. The sort of interrogation that paleontology practices provoked me to think and question even further, down to the fundamental science which makes it all work. Collecting fossils has brought a large amount of enjoyment to my life, and is often a welcome distraction from what can sometimes be straining work. The knowledge that I accumulate along the way is also part

Sawfish oral teeth, much smaller than ones I usually find in the Eagle Ford. These are maybe 2 mm in width. -

Dinosaurs have a distinct bone structure, with large and well-defined Haversian Systems/Osteons (which look like rings around holes where blood vessels used to be). -

A very small ( ~ 1 mm in length) mammal/multituberculate premolar. Indeterminate species. I unfortunately broke part of the root after this picture was taken. -

Small shark tooth, may be Cretorectolobus. -
Found another suspected Cretaceous mammal tooth from the Aguja Fm. I've made my way to the fine matrix. This tooth is about 1 mm in length; I have no idea how I managed to find it. I unfortunately broke part of the root putting it back in the gem case I chose to store it in (after taking the pics). @jpc, what about this one? Feeling slightly more confident...

Hey y'all, found what I think may be a Cretaceous mammal incisor. I was hoping to find some mammal teeth when I got the Aguja matrix, but since I haven't found any before, need more experienced eyes. Could very well be a piece of something else. It's about 5mm in length. Thanks!

Fresh out of the Aguja, found this crocodilian tooth. I know Deinosuchus is present in the formation; I thought it could be based on the strong striations and stoutness? Or can it only be called Eusuchia? It's about 5 mm in length: Thanks!

Hi all! The Aguja Formation matrix that I ordered from PaleoTex arrived on June 12th, but I decided to wait until school ended before I began the process of searching it. Well, school ended yesterday so I have begun the process today! My 5 pounds of matrix are currently soaking in a solution of baking soda and water (because the matrix arrived "unwashed"), but while stirring up the squishy contents with my hand, I found the following 3 items that I'd like your input on. Item #1: Could this be a ceratopsian spitter tooth??? @Troodon More to follow...

Hi there! This rock was found in the Aguja Formation. Wondering if it’s a meteorite, coprolite, or gastrolith? I honestly think it’s a meteorite, but the fact that it’s not magnetic throws me a bit. I don’t know a lot about meteorites though, so would appreciate any knowledge and opinions! Thanks very much, Lauren
