Anybody know any good locations to hunt at Lake Texoma?

Looking for some access points to texoma. Generally near the dam is so over collected. Looking to find some ammonites but it’s just not worth the drive anymore to go to the well known site. -
A nice mosasaur tooth I recently added to my collection

Hi, I’ve recently been searching through some sifted gravel from a creek. I’ve been looking for microfossils, which I’ve had plenty of luck finding. All sorts of marine Cretaceous invertebrate micros are abundant in the creek gravel, as well as the occasional micro shark/fish tooth, scale, and bone fragment. I encountered a tooth that stood out from anything I’ve found so far. It has a conical shape, and is recurved. Something about this tooth seems very reptile-like. Almost looks like a tiny version of a crocodile or mosasaur tooth. The tooth measures 1 millimeter in length. I tried

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

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. -

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 -

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. -

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.
