As it looks like I won't be able to make it back out to Charleston for quite a while, I was wondering what the fossil hunting scene looks like here in Texas. I've heard that there's some miocene material to be had around Galveston and Bolivar, and I've heard about the Eagle Ford Formation and Post Oak Creek, but I haven't come across a whole lot of information. I do know there are some invertebrate fossils along the Brazos, but I'm not super big on snails. I'm in the Houston area, so a day trip down to the coast is definitely feasible, but I need to do some more research before I commit to mak

I'm pretty sure these are S. raphiodon teeth. They are much smaller than S. texanus with a narrow main cusp and finer striations than S. texanus. Compare: http://oceansofkansas.com/sharks/Kansas/shscap3.jpg -

I'm fairly certain this is a posterior Cretodus - a shark known for producing Texas-sized teeth! At just 1 mm tall, this may be the smallest Cretodus tooth possible. -

The famous "ginsu shark" is a rarer species that can be found here. This is a lateral position; a tooth farther back in the mouth. I've only found a handful and none are complete. -
From the album: Post Oak Creek
Symphyseal teeth are found in the midline of the shark's jaw. They are usually small and squashed-looking. Since only a few rows produce these teeth, they are much rarer than other positions. -

The fossils in the creek can have varying levels of preservation: from the pristine glassy enamel seen at the top, to more river-worn seen below. -
From the album: Post Oak Creek
These oysters are common in the creek, and support the Turonian age of the fossils. -

This vert was found in 91 million year old Eagle Ford strata, and while I assume it can only be fish at this point, it doesn't match any of the fish verts I compared it to ( Enchodus, Xiphactinus, Protoshyraena and Pachyrhizodus (I'm not even sure Pachyrhizodus and Protosphyraena were around in the Turonian, were they?) My thoughts below - please teach me otherwise if wrong: I don't think shark due to the thick, bony processes Not Mosasaur or Plesiosaur The placement of the processes is similar to Ichthyosaur, but that would be extremely unlikely for this time
