From the album: Pleistocene
Carcharhinus limbatus, Port Aransas Beach Pleistocene Mar, 2024 Drove down to the Corpus Christi area for the first time to scout some promising sites and the famous Port Aransas Beach. Sadly, I almost got totally skunked. The only saving grace of the day was this C. limbatus tooth I sifted out of a pile of shells on the crowded beach. -
Hi Everyone! Can anyone out there tell me what they think this skull belongs to? I’m in the process of prepping it for a guy who found it laying on a Corpus Christi beach in Texas 20 years ago. The teeth and left side of the skull were pretty beat up, but there should be enough for an ID. I’ve been researching for a while, but still not certain. The area is in the Beaumont Formation; which means Pleistocene material although the skull could’ve been carried by a big storm or hurricane from elsewhere. I had someone suggest gar and another person suggest a Hesperornithine bird. While still fragile, the skull seems more hefty and sturdier than fish material, but I could be totally wrong. Any insight would be much appreciated! Thank you!! Lauren

Howdy fellow fossilers. I moved to Corpus 3 months ago with my wife and I've always loved hunting fossils across the US. Let me tell you, I can tell this is a great spot. I've seen Steve71's posts on mammoth teeth and Pleistocene bones, bison, mastodon, tapir, horse teeth etc. I'd really love to find some of those things and if anyone knows any pointers for stuff nearby (not by san antonio) I'd be forever in your gratitude. In the meantime, here are some photos of fossils I found roaming the beach at Port Aransas.

I have two fossils I was given by a family member when I was a kid that I believe were “surface finds” finds from South Texas. A local museum curator said they were from some kind of a mammal. Can anyone tell me what these are from and what part of the animal they are? One is a socket joint and the other is triangular in cross section.
