From the album: Post Oak Creek
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 -
From the album: Post Oak Creek
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. -
From the album: Post Oak Creek
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. -
From the album: Post Oak Creek
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. -

I went back to the same spot today as last week and cleaned up.

I'm a rookie. This is my second post. I've been out on two "expeditions" and made some interesting finds. When I picked up this fossil?, I noticed it was caulked on the back side, I found that perplexing. North East Texas, Fannin County, Eagle Ford Group, Ozan Formation, North Sulfur River Bed. It appears to be a vertebra. Please help identify. Thanks!

On Sunday afternoon I went out with Keith Minor to a North Texas site exposing the lower Arcadia Park formation and (possibly?) the top of the Britton Formation (lower Turonian, upper Cenomanian respectively). The hunt almost never happened after various storm cells were menacing us and the high winds were thrusting cranes into sky scrapers and whipping up emphysema inducing dust clouds. Yet, even though everyone around us was getting Kansas blown at them, we were only exposed to the high winds and rain so cold and blown so hard that it felt almost like hail. But that lasted for only a few min

A few weeks ago I was working an exposure of the middle Turonian Kamp Ranch member of the Arcadia Park Formation in North Texas, using a chisel and the natural bedding planes to pull up slabs. I had been there less than 15 minutes and had only found one small, broken tooth amongst shell hash when I found this almost perfect medium sized Cretodus crassidens. I also found some smaller shark teeth including Ptychodus sp., miscellaneous vertebrate material, and ammonites of possibly multiple species. So far this specimen is my largest from the site The first thing I noticed about it w

I recently went hunting for my first time in the Turonian Arcadia Park Formation, an Eagle Ford group shale formation in North Texas. I found some great fossils, but many of them are fragile. I found a Worthoceras sp. specimen in matrix that seems to be on the verge of falling apart, and a very small Metoicoceras sp. specimen in a similar situation. They both have the nacreous shell preserved. Many of the other ammonites that I found tend to flake bits of the white shell while I am handling them. What can I use to consolidate the specimens so that they don’t fall apart and so that the shell do

I know this is a concretion, but I think it is so cool looking. It has weathered so differently than almost any other concretion I have ever seen. Most layers of this type of material come off in a lot thicker layers. It is possible that is just how it weathered, but I am wondering if there is more to it than that. The layers are so thin and fine. I found yesterday while out hunting in a new favorite spot in the Britton Formation of the Eagle Ford group in Collin county Texas with Joe AKA @Fruitbat. The area I found it in is full of concretions. Many of them have fossil

Here is a prep I did of a Notopocorystes (=Ferroranina dichrous) nodule (Eagle Ford Group, Late-Cretaceous, Texas) that I got from @Suvi in a fossil trade. This particular specimen had its limitations in terms of missing legs and parts of carapace. I think it is a molt (note what looks like disarticulated ventral exoskeleton on left of top center photo). Luckily, she included several more nodules that may have more complete specimens. This was a good practice one.
