Cretolamna teeth from POC. The largest one seems to be the C. dwardius as described in Welton and Farish's guide, the others are C. appendiculata.- 1 comment

I think it is a fossil pearl. It was found in a shell fragment in Post-Oak Creek texas, but I am not sure as it is the first I have found. If it is a fossil pearl how do fossil pearls relate to common pearls

Recently cleaned up an Ammonite. From the Albian or Cenomanian (?) Series, Boracho Formation, Culberson County, Texas. I don't have much experience with Ammonites. The HGMS Ammonite book I own is not as helpful as I had hoped. Thank you 11cm across, 9cm tall, less than 2cm thick

I found theses fossils 20 years ago or so, while visiting My Very Good Friends (and former house mates) in San Antonio Texas. I had brought a flyrod on the trip as I knew there were some creeks near their house and I wanted to spend sometime fishing them. One afternoon I grabbed my flyrod and a box of Wooly Buggers and walked the 3/4 of a mile to the nearest creek. as I was rigging the rod I started noticing the Devil's Toe Nails laying along the banks of the creek. I began picking them up as they looked pretty cool and I knew what their common name was. Fishing was pretty good as I caught a number of small Bass and a few species of Sunfish on the flies. I kept picking up the Toe Nails as I fished and soon had my pockets filled up with them. I stopped picking them up, but kept fishing for a few hours. returning to my friends' house I washed them off and dried them off on paper towels. they looked really nice after washing them of the dirt. I knew they were of Cretaceous age and I knew they are called 'Devil's Toe Nails" but I have never learned more about them. If anyone can Identify them for me that would be soo appreciated. Thanks for any help!, Dean ~~~

Didn't find much this time. I don't think it's rained in a while - the water looked stagnant. Also was picked over well. Favorite find is the mostly complete Cretodus (found it under a fallen tree).-

Tiny sawfish oral teeth can be found in POC by simply taking some gravel home to look through under a magnifying glass, or a microscope if you've got one.-

Another one of my favorites, the "ginsu" shark, so named for its sharp blade-like teeth. The largest one in the center is indeed from POC, but I bought it online.-

One of my favorite teeth to find, Ptychodus was a large shark that likely feed on hard-bodied animals like shells, crustaceans, or maybe ammonites. Most of the teeth here are from P. whipplei but there are a couple that could be P. anonymus.-

Some of the largest Cretaceous shark teeth you can find are from this genus. These are most likely C. crassidens.-

Found this yesterday in Medina County, Texas. Any help is much appreciated. Part of a crab claw or leg are my thoughts, but couldn’t find anything that matched.
