Eagle Ford Hunt With a Fellow FF Member! Loads of Shark Teeth With Some Unexpected Micro Surprises!
EPIKLULSXDDDDD posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A couple of weeks ago, @Jackito, his son, and I took a trip out to one of his favorite Eagle Ford sites. For those of you who are familiar with Carter's posts, this was once the famed location of the so-called "giving rock", so the bar was set high for the day. I've come across some of Austin's eagle ford material in the past, but it was always only the leftovers of what had been washed through miles of rushing creek water. This was my first time getting to poke through the source material, so I was eager to see what could be found. The water was low and the temperature mild. I was thankful I- 22 replies

Just a handful of Cretaceous species, most from North Texas. The sea that bisected North America ~85 million years ago played host to a diverse and burgeoning ecosystem that supported many species of sharks. It was likely due to specialization that allowed these sharks to all live in the same place and time.-

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-

Largest three teeth likely from Scapanorhynchus sp. No idea on the smallest one.-

Didn't find much this time. I don't think it's rained in a while - the water looked stagnant. Also was picked over well. Favorite find is the mostly complete Cretodus (found it under a fallen tree).-

Back again for more information. These teeth are driving me nuts. I am working on a Coniacian deposit from north central New Mexico, and have gotten around 20,000 fossils from sifting and screen washing ant hills. The vast majority are scapanorhynchids (over 12,000), but there are at least 25 other species represented. These teeth come from a possible barrier island deposit, and the wave action prior to fossilization must have been intense, since almost all the teeth are missing roots. There are around 1500 teeth that look like scapanorhyncus cf. raphiodon, but they have no

fossil shark tooth | measuring in inches in centimeters
Darrell Barnes posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Here is a video I made, measuring the cusp of a Scapanorhynchus fossil shark tooth from Frankstown, MS. I used the technique suggested by a previous post regarding the measurement of the tooth cusp of "Carcharocles, Carcharodon and Isurus using anterior teeth." Does the technique and measurement I performed appear legitimate? fossil shark tooth | measuring in inches in centimeters- 3 replies
