From the album: Eagle Ford Group
Prionocyclus bosquensis, Denton Co. Turonian, Cretaceous Jan, 2023 I found a nice spot absolutely filled with these small ammonites. I'm fairly confident these are P. bosquensis, but if anyone has a contending opinion, feel free to share. Anisomyon sp. was also found in the same spot, suggesting this is from the uppermost Arcadia Park.-

From the album: Squamates
Originally believed to be an anterior position of Coniasaurus, this is an undescribed squamate reptile tooth from the Turonian of North TX (via pers. comm. with Mike Polcyn; discovered 4/20/2022). It has only a distal carina which is offset, some faceting on the labial face of the crown, and textured enamel which becomes smooth on the mesial edge.-

A small tooth from a small aquatic reptile that lived during the Turonian of North TX. They are small, squat teeth with textured enamel, and possess only an indistinct distal carina (no mesial carina).-

This small tooth is likely from a juvenile small, early mosasaur. In just a few million years, these aquatic reptiles would diversify and grow to large sizes.-

I found this last week in north Texas in the Arcadia Park formation just above the Kamp Ranch Limstone. Is this from an "Ichthyosaur" and not maybe Pliosaur? Lance

Here is an unidentified semi-spherical colony of stony coral, collected in Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas, This is the largest colony that I have found at the site. The colonies range in size from 2.5 cm to 4 cm across. The coralites range from 4 mm to 6 mm across. This specimen has traces of the oyster, (probably Cameleolopha bellaplicata) that it grew on since the muddy Arcadia Park Formation did not provide a suitable hard ground. Other specimens of the coral also all grew on oysters. Traces of yellowish calcite-cemented sandstone clings to the coral. The coral occurs in a yellowish calcite-cemented sandstone in the upper part of the Arcadia Park Formation that may be related to the Bells Sandstone in eastern Grayson County. Numerous Cameleolopha bellaplicata oysters and lesser amounts of small bivalves occur at the site. Numerous shark teeth and other vertebrate fossils also occur with the coral. An unidentified ramose bryozoan also grows on the oysters in the area. Although unidentified, this coral looks a lot like Hindeastraea discoidea (which occurs in the yellowish calcite-cemented sandstone layers in the upper part of the Arcadia Park Formation) as found in this reference: Perkins, Bob F. 1951. Hindeastraea discoidea White from the Eagle Ford Shale, Dallas County, Texas. Fondren Science Series 2: 1–11.

I have been finding these for years. These are not Labiatus but I think still Inoceramus. But I found one that is a little different. I normally find only the part that seems like the top. The two included in this posting, I found near the one I'm holding. The two smaller ones are what I normally find. The ones coming out of the Britton are commonly found with both sides and both sides are quite similar. This was a little peculiar. I'm open to suggestions. This pic shows a little bit of the remainder of some of the shell. Very thin ~.005 thick. Also the remains of the two smaller ones. All from the Arcadia Park material. Jess B.
