From the album: Post Oak Creek
Rhinobatos teeth are probably the smallest teeth you can hope to find here - they are about as small as grains of sand.-

Hey All, Spent some time in Sherman, Texas the other day doing a lot of creek walking on the Post Oak Creek and came across an arrowhead, a ton of shark teeth and some other shells and stuff on the gravel bars but this tooth is making us scratch our heads and we need some extra eyes. Any kind of help would be appreciated, thank you

My son and I went shark tooth hunting for the first time in Texas and found a few teeth plus a weird looking tooth that we don't know what it is. White and blue with some encrusted material. Any ideas?? The shark teeth we found here are different and smaller than the ones we used to find out in Maryland but still fun hunting. We will probably go back again soon Thanks

From the album: Sharks
Cretodus crassidens Eagle Ford Group, Sherman, TX A smaller tooth from one of the largest predatory sharks in the Late Cretaceous (~ 90 Ma). It likely filled a similar niche in its environment that the Great White Shark does today. Its teeth are characterized by pointed side cusps, rounded root lobes, no nutrient groove, a shelf-like lingual root protuberance on anterior teeth, and striations (ridges) at the foot of the crown (on both the main cusp and side cusps). This tooth is as nice as they get in terms of preservation and completeness from this locale - this one is only missing the tip.-

Nothing extraordinary, but I found an area with several chunks of matrix with teeth in them. -
I am a complete noob when it comes to fossil hunting. I recently got into it, along with my oldest daughter, and decided to go to Post Oak Creek in Sherman, TX. In the four hours that we sifted through the creek bed, we were able to find over 95 shark teeth. However, we did end up with a few of these random items as well. I know most are probably geological formations, but I wanted to bring them before some more experienced people to see if any were worth keeping. I can provide better lighting and closer shots of individual items if needed. Thanks in advance for the help!

My wife and I went on a 7500+ mile ramble to break out of our COVID doldrums. Due to the virus we had to change up many of our original plans... which conversely added a number of additional fossil hunting locals as they allowed us to mostly avoid our fellow humans and maintain social distancing by many many miles. As part of our trip preparations my wife sewed us a number of masks, including a whole series of fossil hunting masks for me. Originally we were supposed to stay in Chicago, but we elected to avoid staying in the city, so we only got to do a drive by We started the trip with a bonus dig, meeting up with fellow forum member @minnbuckeye for a guided Ordovician hunt in Fennimore, Wisconsin (THANKS MIKE!) Unfortunately I neglected to take pics of the site so I will only be able to share a farm pic we passed on the way. Mike was a gracious host who kicked off the visit with a gift of several fossil samples from his home turf As with all of the fossils from this trip, all finds are as they arrived back home, no prep. Some of our finds from Fennimore:

Found this earlier while shark tooth hunting. Just trying to find out what it is.

Ok so today I went shark tooth hunting and I came across what to me looks like a tusk or horn of some sort. I honestly have no clue. Anyone else know what this might be? They’re about the size of a penny.
-
I found this on a trip to POC last week. To me it looks like 2 teeth with a possible small jaw section. Can anyone verify? I’m assuming shark of some sort, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Two fossils from Post Oak Creek in Sherman, TX--Need help with ID
bluefish1766 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all I found these two fossils in Post Oak Creek (Sherman, TX) today and would appreciate any input as to what they are. My guess on the first one is that it is part of a turtle shell, and the second one is part of a crustacean. Thanks!

So I was searching through the remaining material I had from a trip to POC. I’ve had this material for a few weeks and I randomly go back look through it trying to find more micro teeth. When looking today I found two items that were a bit different than the other items I found. Anyone that can help me identify what species the small tooth is would be great. Not saying it’s rare but it just looked different than the probably 50 I found. Also the other chunk looks to be a piece of jaw with two small teeth connected. At first glance I thought it was a broken piece of tooth it the more I looked, it looks like one of the teeth is whole and not fractured or cracked. Any opinions would be great!

Ok this may be a stupid question but I’ve only been hunting and researching for about 2 weeks. So I live in the NE Texas area and I’m trying to find what sort of fossils are going to be readily available. I’m assuming that since this area was mostly underwater for millions of years, the majority of the fossils in this area are aquatic Cretaceous. Is that a fair evaluation? I know every area has it’s common fossil and species, I’m just trying to figure out what mine is. Please forgive me if this is a common question but I feel the only dumb question is the one never asked. I’ve done sports memorabilia for 20 years and I know how it is when a newbie starts asking all sorts of common questions. I then remember I was there once.

So my 8 year old son and I did our first ever trip to go find fossils. Attached is what we found in our very untrained 2 hour trip! Haha I literally have no experience outside of reading on this forum from time to time. We may have just picked up some rocks but they looked like fossils to us. I know most most of the teeth are probably goblin and I believe we found 2 Ptychodus. The main things I’m wondering about are the long piece slim piece next to the Ptychodus (possible whale tooth?), two vertebrae looking pieces, the egg shaped piece, and the white pieces. Not sure if they are bones of if they are just random trash we picked up thinking they were treasures. Haha All our tooth fragments Item on right? Egg shaped item Vertebrae? Vertebrae? Cant tell if this tooth is broken or just worn Cool little shell in a rock formation No clue? Looks like bones in rock but could be just river muck This looks like a little flipper but not sure

We are back asking for more help. Hope we do not wear out our welcome. LOL. We are very excited about our new hobby close to home and you all have been great help. We went to post oak creek in Sherman TX today. Please let us know if better pics are needed. We think A. Is just a modern piece of bone from a deer, pig, cow, etc... We posted it in the pic just to help is learn. If better pics of other pieces are needed please reply and we will take them. M & T

Howdy! Often view and read about finds on this forum, so decided to join. Quite a few of our finds lack firm identification, so hopefully you guys can help solve some little mysteries. Over the last year, we have visited Whiskey Bridge in College Station, North Sulphur River and Sherman in North Texas, and the Waco Research Pit. Future trips planned to West Texas, Southwest Texas and the Panhandle. The cover photo on my profile is a heavily pyritized baculite that was found at North Sulphur River in spring 2018.

This is one of those strange little fossils that keeps you guessing. The center “texture” almost looks like a skin imprint. A lot of different things going on here. Coprolite perhaps? Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
