Items collected during Nov 5th 2022 at Ladonia Fossil Park near Ladonia Texas. Any help with identification would be much appreciated, as well as descriptions of the key traits to hone in on to rule out other possibilities. Trying to learn what I can. Many thanks!

Would love this community’s input on what I found on a trip to Ladonia Fossil Park two weekends ago - I’m trying to determine what - if anything - I found. Trying to find a good fossil guide to aid in searches - any recommendations appreciated!

Hi, we just got back from our first fossil hunting trip. Did we find anything special in this lot? I know it's a bit much to ask but hoping someone might be able to spot some things right off bat. The photo with no labels are ones we are almost certain are fossils, just don't know to what... Except that one cleaner modern tooth.

Some finds from my October treks on the North Sulphur River in Fannin County Texas. OZAN FORMATION. Here are some weathered Mosasaur verts along with a fish vert and more bone frags. I am starting to lock in on some of the the smaller things. These are a bit taller than the penny that I forgot to include for size reference. My wife found this cool fish fin, its about 2 inches in length Some worm tubes and starfish parts A few more verts and frags Trentonmon and I went to the fossil day workshop in Ladonia Tx. We brought some fossils with us that we wanted an opinion on. Everyone was very nice and they put on a good show for us. We each were given a copy of the Louis Jacobs book..LONE STAR DINOSAURS. I'd been thinking about buying it for a while. So nice swag!! We appreciate everyone who was involved in doing the event. It was a good learning experience. Having said that we didn't follow the long caravan of vehicles headed for a guided hunt at the ever picked over Fossil park entrance. We hit the river for a short hunt at a spot we had not gone before. It was very muddy and well picked over but I got out of there with a few decent finds. I found this very tiny vert, Im not sure if its a shark or fish vert. I was really seeing small when I saw that one right? Its been a few months since a really good rain. I can't complain about what I've found during the summer and fall, but I know a good rain might uncover the one that didn't get away.... One thats been there millions of years waiting for me to find it It keeps us coming back
