Tiny sawskate oral teeth - less than 1 mm in size. -

The shell of a "foram" (test). It looks like a snail or ammonite, but is actually a marine protist (only found in the oceans). -

A small "bamboo" shark, just 1 mm tall. -

Various denticles from sharks and rays sitting on the face of a dime. -

Rhinobatos teeth are so small they make me angry Here you see a dozen guitar fish teeth sitting on the face of a dime! The largest is a bit under 1 mm tall. R. incertus has a pointed crown, R. caseiri has no point. -

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 -

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. -

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. -

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. -

These oysters are common in the creek, and support the Turonian age of the fossils. -

Hello! I have yet again grouped up some more fossils that I found in Post Oak Creek that I found interesting and would like to be ID'd. Thank you for the help! (1) very nice tooth (2) shark or other fish? (3) one if my biggest teeth (4) I think this is a Fossil? I was thinking enamel or ray but I'm not sure (5) I'm pretty sure this is a Fossil, but I could not get any good pictures of it up close unfortunately (I could try to get better ones later)

An odd shark from the Cretaceous of North Texas - these sharks had crushing teeth suited for hard-bodied prey. -

The "big guy" to find at POC. Though, this one is smaller, the preservation is as good as it gets for this location. In fact, it makes me believe that POC could draw from layers adjacent to the Eagle Ford Group. I've found matrix pieces that are consistent with the geology of EFG, but need to find matrix pieces with this kind of preservation to confirm Atco or something else. I'm also not sure that this is C. crassidens anymore since this smaller, narrower form differs so much from the holotype. I currently believe it's an undescribed species since I haven't found something that ma -

Reconstructed tooth set from a "Crow" shark - Squalicorax (could be S. falcatus) - illustrating the variety of tooth positions. Anterior teeth have erect, triangular cusps. Lateral teeth and posteriors are more common and have an increasingly posteriorly slanted crown, resembling the teeth of modern tiger sharks. -

Some Post Oak Teeth; Pleistocene mammal, Hybodont, and Mosasaur(?)
Thomas.Dodson posted a topic in Fossil ID
I made a brief stop at Post Oak Creek traveling around Texas a couple weeks ago. I didn't have much luck searching for large fossils this time but looking small turned up some decent material, a few of which I wanted to request some identification help for. First is this mammal tooth. I don't know how many people look into this small Pleistocene material. @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker, any ideas? Next is this small mosasaur like tooth. It reminds me of some of the teeth that appear in a recent ID thread. @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon, any ideas on thi- 4 replies

Hello everyone! While I was cleaning out my phone I forgot I had these finds that I would like second opinions on identifying from Post Oak Creek near Sherman, Texas. I found these right before I had to fly out to Iceland so the setup is very messy and was done quickly. I love hunting here, and have a general understanding on most of my finds there which are mostly various shark teeth and lopha oysters. Usually confident in identifying however I never got to go to school for paleontology so I’m still an amateur! Im always so eager to love to learn more about the ancient Cretaceous sea life eve
