Post Oak Creek construction + BONUS: Jurassic Park cars!
PaleoPastels posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hey forum! I had fossil fever sooo bad since I was away in Iceland. First place I wanted to hit up was my favorite place for baby shark teeth- Post Oak up in Sherman! A lot of people swear its over picked but it still remains a favorite & fruitful place of mine close by. Anyways, a LOT has changed since Ive been gone it looks like! I decided to stop by 2 of my favorite spots in POC with a bucket of gravel to take home. The rain is coming in and we now have an areal flood advisory/watch ( I told you guys I both took and brought the rain back with me! ) so I just got my “goodie bag bucket” to sift through at home from my honey spot, for fun I went to the S Travis bridge near the body shop and saw that it was torn apart with traffic cones! Luckily you can still go down there from that bridge on weekends. There was a gentleman there who I saw back in november who was informing me that they plan to add a public parking lot since the creek is so popular! If anyone knows when it will be done feel free to chime in with a date. I wanted to share with the forum in case anyone has plans to come out to Post Oak- I still recommend it as I find a bunch of stuff every time I come out here. Luckily it’s not muddy like Ladonia’s park construction. Post Oak is lots and lots of cretaceous lopha oyster shells+ gravel. ***I will baby shark teeth pics later! I also found a weird fossil bone. Bonus: When we were going home we had to stop by Carl Jr’s (aka Hardees for northerners!) and I saw Jurassic Park vehicles parked outside! So uncanny! Maybe because the restaurant franchise is doing JW3 movie toys in their kid meal promotion. One of the vehicles had an antique auto license plate! Both Texas plates. I know how we giggle at the inaccuracies of Jurassic Park but for someone who grew up with Jurassic Park it was fun to see after a fossil day! I got a kid meal. -
Found this tiny object sorting Post Oak Creek, TX matrix. Looks like a tooth to me, but not confident in that assessment. Any help? Is it a tooth or just a tooth-shaped rock?

Sherman, Texas, turning Post Oak Creek into fossil park

Sherman turning Post Oak Creek into fossil park By Lauren Rangel, KXII Channel 22, July 8, 2022 Yours, Paul H. -
Howdy! I recently went to Post Oak creek, and ended up with more matrix than I can immediately use. Rather than let it sit unsearched, I figured it was worth a shot to post some up for trade here. Each bag has a pound of material in it, and they have proved to be very productive. I’ve found numerous ptychodus teeth, a (poorly preserved) lobster carapace, shark and fish vertebra, various bones, coprolites, and of course, lots of other shark teeth. So there’s lots of different things that can be found. I’ve got around 25-30 lbs I’d be willing to trade. I am primarily interested in vertebrate material, but I’ll also look at ammonites, and really anything else since I’ve finally gotten back into collecting again.

I recently collected about 300 pounds of matrix from the Post Oak creek in Sherman Texas, and I’ve since been searching through it when I get the opportunity to. I’ve found quite a few vertebrae, all from fish, but I found one last night that has me scratching my head. It has some matrix that has solidified and will need to be removed, but I thought I could post it beforehand in case anyone had any thoughts regarding the identification!

Found this little tooth this weekend. I’m sure it must be a S. raphiodon but the cusplets come directly out of a broader based blade. Not like the others I usually find. May just be because it is a juvenile?
