I took off yesterday morning and drove to a Grayson County creek, one of my previous hunted and favorite spots. It was my first fossil hunting trip since early in the year. I haven't posted here since October of last year, and had made only a couple of trips where I didn't find much since then. And, truth be told, when I'm not hunting, I'm not browsing the forum either, hence my long absence. The multiple meniscus tears in my left knee finally became too much to allow for hiking creeks, so I stopped hunting. I finally had knee surgery May 2nd, but have not been able to kneel on that knee again until very recently. The past few weeks, I have felt like that, with a bit of extra padding, I could use my knee pads again, but with daily temperatures from 105 to 110 degrees, I have just not been willing to fossil hunt. Finally, yesterday was cooler, so off I went. Here are some in situ photos. That first photo has two teeth.

I’d like for my Post Oak Creek collection identified (specifically the shark teeth), but I can’t find much information online about the species of shark whose teeth are found here (Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas). When I HAVE come across general information about the creek and other peoples findings online, there aren’t any pictures of the teeth or nobody else knows exactly what they have. It’s also hard to tell if I’m grouping them correctly, so I apologize if I’m mixing some species together. The longer teeth have very similar characteristics, but greatly differ in size. And the only teeth that I HAVE been able to identify are the ptychodus teeth (not pictured), but only because they’re so unusual in appearance. Excuse the quality of the images. I don’t feel like setting up my camera right now, but I do plan on taking clearer images once I’ve correctly identified each specimen.

I’ve decided to post this one separately. Very unusual composition. If you watch the video, you’ll see that light refracts off of tiny crystals in the center of each segment (which I’ve circled in red in another image). It’s hardly noticeable. The specimen is very smooth and rounded. Another member said in a different post of mine that it could possibly be an inoceramid hinge, though my own research resulted in nothing. I can’t find anything online that remotely resembles my specimen (inoceramid or otherwise). I found it at Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas. FullSizeRender.MOV

Need help to ID a possible fossil found in Post Oak Creek, Sherman, Tx
ThaGr8WiteDope posted a topic in Fossil ID
My son found this last week while poking around Post Oak Creek in Sherman Tx. The bumps and ridges on the sides are symmetrical, and it has a smooth hollowed out portion. Not sure if it’s part of a fossil or just an odd rock formation. Hoping someone here can help us out. Thanks!!- 3 replies

I've been itching to get out hunting, but it's been over 100 degrees every day, and everything is really dried out. I noticed though that, unlike my part of Texas, Grayson County actually got some rain the last couple of weeks. I wasn't sure if it was enough to expose much new stuff, but I decided to take a day and go look in one of my favorite spots there. I got up very early yesterday and was in the creek by 7:30 am. I started hiking out of the creek before 11:30. It was getting pretty hot by then, plus I'd had my quota of crawling on my knees for the day. I got the impression that the rain didn't get over the gravel bars enough to expose much new stuff, but I still managed to find some good teeth. You don't find big teeth when the gravel bars are this picked over, but if you're looking close enough to see them, there are still some beautiful smaller teeth to be found, and so it was on this day. Some in situ photos. The tooth in that last photo is half under a rock, but if you look closely, it's there.
