There is a nuchal spine behind the head; the dorsal fin begins just behind the nuchal spine and extends to the tail.

Shane came up with a nice Xiphactinus tooth, a few nice gastropods, and a very large piece of fossil bone we are going to take to the museum in a few weeks. Overall, it was a tough trip but I'm glad we went fo
