I hadn't been out fossil hunting lately. We've been getting enough rain to make me wonder how high the water level in creeks would be, plus spring fishing is so good on Cedar Creek Lake, where I live, that on days where I don't spend a couple of hours on the bicycle, I've just been going fishing. But now we've had a couple of weeks without much rain, so I'd been wanting to make a trip back to Grayson County. I had a doctor appointment in Dallas Friday morning, so I decided I would leave from there and make the drive to Grayson County. It was 10:30 am before I reached this day's creek, rapidly approaching the heat of the day, so I knew this would be a short visit to the creek. It was hot and sunny Friday, and I got reminded just how much heat you feel from those gravel bars when you're on knees and elbows. By shortly after 1:00 pm, I was cooked and ready to make the drive home. But this part of the creek is so much more grown up than when I was last there, I had a tough time getting out of the creek without getting torn up by briars and tree limbs. I ended up looking like I had been on the short end of a fight with a wildcat. I was already carrying leg chaps, but just never stopped to put them on. I've found some old kevlar arm chaps too. I'm going to start making myself wear both when traversing the thick stuff from now on. 71 year old skin just seems to suffer a lot more damage in these situations than young skin does. But as always in Grayson County, I did find some fossils. Here are photos of some, just as they lay when I found them. Each of those last two photos have two teeth in them. It's not often that I find two teeth that close together.

Yesterday morning I drove to Grayson County and hunted yet another new spot in a creek. This one did not disappoint. With the extended drought (though parts of Grayson County did get a half inch of rain later in the day yesterday), I keep wondering how these creeks aren't picked clean, but I'm still finding fossils. Here are a few as they lay.

Sawfish rostrum from Kem Kem is it real?
Jurassicz1 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have thought about buying this sawfish rostrum from the Cretaceous Kem Kem Beds in Morocco. Is it real? Does it have any restoration?

OK folks, from my new found Eocene pit. Castle Hayne Formation, Comfort Member. Some sawfish, Pristis lathami verts and rostral spines. And a possible piece of dorsal spine. Verts, including one huge one measuring in at 1.48 inch or 37.6 MM. more verts and rostral spines; the possible piece of dorsal spine is under the row of 4 verts across the top the longest spine measures in at 3.20 inch or 81.4 mm Seen this guy still in full velvet on my way to the pit one day.

New Eocene Castle Hayne Exposure; Vertebrates Galore
sixgill pete posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone. It has been a while since I have made a post. Between some health issues and all the RAIN we have had here in NC this summer, the trips have been few. Not to mention all of the quarries still being closed due to covid. Recently I was granted permission to search a small, private agricultural limestone marl quarry. It is Eocene Castle Hayne Formation, Comfort Member. Now before anyone asks, no I will not say where or nor will I be bringing anyone to it. It is very small and my permission is very tentative. I have to get permission each time I go. It is a smorgasbord of Shark teeth and verts, sawfish rostral teeth and verts, fish parts. Other than broken pieces of Periarchus sp., a few crab claws and a few startfish ossicles it is rather void of invertebrate fossils. The marl is friable limestone. Here are a few of the teeth found so far, some of the rare Castle Hayne teeth. I will add more pics as we go along of other items found, including some nice C. auriculatusand some huge sawfish rostral teeth and verts. Heterodontus cf elongatus Hexanchus agassizi Heterodontus cf elongatus Nebrius obliquues

Sister found this one. I believe it to be a developing sawfish rostral tooth. Ischyrhiza mira (Leidy) Ramanessin Brook -

Hello All, I had forgotten I had picked this up a Big Brook the other day. Definitely looks toothy. Nice size to it as it measures 1.5" (38mm). Not a sharks tooth. Perhaps Sawfish rostral tooth? Thanks!
-
Spent another afternoon on the Ramanessin yesterday. Walked in with a club from South Jersey who piled in at the big gravel bar with all the downed trees a little below the dam, including a relatively new addition of a tulip tree that is still covered in leaves. Later, I also met a member of a topographical survey team who was walking the stream bed and ran into a younger local who I have seen there several times previously. Overall a pretty busy day and much cloudier and cooler than last Saturday. (30 degree difference week over week) Unfortunately the trip was more of a heartbreaker than the banner trip last weekend. A lot of interesting and colorful teeth, but all the best stuff was broken or otherwise banged up The big goblin blade came up in the sifter with the point sticking out of the gravel and I got excited for a second before crashing back to reality All 5 broken sawfish rostrals came up in the same spot within 15 minutes... very frustrating. Overall the teeth were a little bigger than my past few visits and the color variety was great.

Very small teeth from sawfish and carpet sharks, respectively. -

Shark teeth (at least in my experience) are really hard to find at NSR. The best method would probably be to sift for them in gravel, but I've yet to do that. The odd looking one is actually the base of sawfish rostral tooth.- 1 comment

Hello, Trying to identify this fossil found in Portugal, Arrábida region. Could it be from a sawfish (Pristidae)? Thanks for the help.
-
Good evening. Another morning spent in Big Brook. Did ok with the shark teeth. 3 questions: 1) 15/16th inches I think is a sawfish rostal. 2). 3/8 inch piece of jawbone with 2 teeth which I think is fossil fish but have no idea which, and 3) a 1 1/8 inch piece of bone I guess to be modern. Can you identify the animal? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
