Can anyone help me identify this bone fragment ? It’s from Sherman, TX at Post Oak Creek. It’s drying right now from being in the stream. Is it fossilized ? Modern ? Bison ? Cow?

We recently acquired some micro matrix from the Cretaceous of Texas courtesy of our friend @Captcrunch227. I had a fun time searching the Post Oak Creek stuff and we crossed some stuff our want list. There are still several teeth that need id’s but I’ll have to wait a week or two before I can get pics to help that process. In the meantime, I do know some of what I found. We found several Nurse Shark teeth. I am relatively sure 2 are Cantioscyllium. I think 2 are Plicatoscyllium. Super excited to find a few Nurse Sharks. We found a couple of Rhinobatos teeth, a really nice Scapanorhynchus symphyseal, a lot of Sawfish material, a couple of Rhombodus, I am pretty sure we found a Cretodus and two that I think might be Paranomotodon. We found a couple that look to be Cretalamna. This is was a bunch of fun and I’m thinking I need to find more micros lol What a fantastic way to occupy ones time and stimulate the brain.

I made my first trip to Post Oak Creek today. There had been rain in the forecast for yesterday, so I hoped for some newly washed out fossils, but Sherman got no rain. So, I knew things would be pretty picked over, but I decided to go anyway, and just hike a bit further down the creek than I normally might, to see if I could find a few teeth anyway. I stayed about three hours. The knee pads I bought yesterday were definitely a good investment. These old fart eyes need to be close to the sand bars to get within reading glass distance of those small teeth. I had also made a sifter, and carried out half a bucket of sand to go through at home. I had fun. That creek is an amazing fossil place.

This is the smallest tooth I've found so far, next to the largest I've found. -
My Post Oak Creek take from Sunday February 23, 2020, rainy gloomy day and a short visit. But very successful. I took a friend and she found her first tooth.

Tiny sawfish oral teeth can be found in POC by simply taking some gravel home to look through under a magnifying glass, or a microscope if you've got one. -

I realize that a lot of my in situ shots are of ptychodus, but they seem to be more visible and photogenic. Taken 12/31/19.-

Another one of my favorites, the "ginsu" shark, so named for its sharp blade-like teeth. The largest one in the center is indeed from POC, but I bought it online. -

One of my favorite teeth to find, Ptychodus was a large shark that likely feed on hard-bodied animals like shells, crustaceans, or maybe ammonites. Most of the teeth here are from P. whipplei but there are a couple that could be P. anonymus.-

Some of the largest Cretaceous shark teeth you can find are from this genus. These are most likely C. crassidens. -

Cretolamna teeth from POC. The largest one seems to be the C. dwardius as described in Welton and Farish's guide, the others are C. appendiculata. -
