Our family went on a day trip with the Alabama Museum of Natural History to Trussell's Creek recently... It has a loads of Cretaceous shark teeth... when you sieve the gravel bar in certain spots, every load will bring up a couple of teeth. Most broken though! Here are some of our finds (mine and my youngest son). Mostly shark teeth, but I did find some bits of bone, baculite parts, and a fish corprolite. My daughter found a cepahalic clasper from a shark! (It went to the museum).

Last summer my youngest son found a lot of very nice fossils at Trussells Creek, Alabama (including a mosasaur and croc (I think) teeth) (My kids are much better at fossil hunting than me! They have sharp eyes and can find tiny things!) I wanted to share his best find of the trip- a huge partial tooth of a shell-crushing shark; it is next to a smaller one he also found. It is 1.75" across at the widest. I am planning to go with them next time!
