My Mom (being the totally awesome Mom that she is) took me on a fossil hunting trip when I was thirteen (way back in 2003) out in the Smokey Hill Chalk of Kansas with a group of students. We got to dig on a private ranch and I found this specimen splitting a layer of the chalk. I learned really quickly to follow an older gentleman that was one of the organizers of the trip and he'd tell me about the layers we were digging in and of past finds which I found very interesting. When he found a string of fish vertebra sticking out of the chalk I asked if I could dig into the hill beside him. He said yes and a few minutes later I'd found this (and he had an entire two foot fish tail) It's about 4.5 cm long and I think it's a tiny enchodus skull but I'd love some feedback on what y'all think it is? 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: Thanks, - James

I found this jaw bone in the chalk of Kansas and I have no idea what it came from .i am pretty Shure it's a fish as I only really find fish bones out where I hunt. Let me know what you think. It is hard to see but there are about 8 tooth studs in the bone.

I have stumbled upon a mosasaur skeleton (or at least I assume so ) it is in pieces and I have so far found 3 ribs and 3 vertebrae and it keeps going back into the chalk that it is in . It is in the Smokey Hill Chalk formations in Kansas. It is in many pieces each rib is in about 5-12 pieces and vertebrae are mostly intact

Found these articulated/associated sqaulicorax teeth today during my lunch break in the Smokey Hill Chalk. Biggest squali's I've ever found. Found them in the rubble field below a vertical chalk face. Going back to see if I can find where they eroded from. I will post updates. Thanks, Michael
