Hello, everyone! Below are a few finds from the North Sulphur River and Post Oak Creek, and I’d love to get some help with identification. The ruler is in centimeters. 1. This first picture includes two mammal teeth (top two)(fossilized or no?), ???, and a small bone that appears to be fossilized. these were found at Post Oak Creek. 2. This bone was found at the North Sulphur River. 3. Nautilus found at NSR. Could anyone help with identifying the species? 4. Jaw fragment? Found at NSR. 5. Coprolite? It appears to have fragments of bone(?) in it. Found at NSR. 6. I found this tooth at NSR a while back, but someone recently IDed it as Latoplatecarpus (mosasaur). I can’t find too much literature on Latoplatecarpus; could anyone give me more information on this tooth and the animal it comes from? Thank you!

Can anyone help me out on this one? Found in northeast texas.

My daughter and I are looking for new fossil-finding adventures in central and Northeast Texas. We have already been numerous times to Ladonia, Sherman and Mineral Wells. We also like to hunt for arrowheads!

Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I am new to the site. I live in the NE corner of Texas in north Franklin county. As far as rocks go, in this area there are only two shows in town. Native American artifacts and petrified wood. I was taking a friend of mine to show her where and how to look to find petrified wood and had stumbled by accident walking to a new fishing spot a couple of days before on a small area that had little or no previous rockhounds picking over the land and there was large and small pieces laying on top of the ground pretty much all over the place. There was a very shallow runoff ravine down the bank from the pond at the low spot of the land and it was dry and looked like a stream of rocks on top of rocks. I was moving leaves from on top of some so my friend could see all the great pieces of petrified wood and under a leaf but on top of the stream of rocks....lay something that looked so out of place in its almost perfect shape and colors. It looks to my untrained eye, just like an egg and though i looked there was nothing that looked even remotely similar to this one. I will gladly take some sharper focus pics if needed or provide closeups of specific areas on request.....
