I took off yesterday morning an drove to a central Texas creek to fossil hunt. This is not the same spot I visited last week; it's a creek I hunted in September of last year. It is also Wolfe City formation. I'd hunted a gravel bar briefly in that previous trip, but had found all the teeth I brought home in outcrops on creek walls afterward. Considering how many teeth I found in those outcrops, I planned on hunting the gravel bars below them better this time. I first made the hike to the outcrops. I had found all the teeth on my previous trip in a narrow part of the outcrop just above the water level, and had noted to myself that lower water levels would be a better time to hunt this area. I thought that yesterday would provide those conditions, but it didn't. Not only was the water level not lower, but the bank just below the part of the outcrop I needed to hunt was very muddy, making it tough to maintain footing while hunting. In addition to that, weeds and brush up against the outcrops had gotten so thick that I wasn't able to hunt a couple of the previously productive spots at all. But I did find some teeth in the outcrops. Here are some in situ photos.

I took off this morning and made a drive to central Texas to explore a new creek. This part of the creek is Wolfe City formation. I had hunted another Wolfe City spot not too many miles from this one, but wasn't sure what to expect. I had found mostly teeth at the other spot, so after making a pretty long hike to get to the best looking outcrop in this creek, I searched the outcrop itself, without finding anything other than shell fragments. So I put on my knee pads, and started searching the gravel bar (more of a mud bar, really; this creek is pretty muddy) nearby. The only things I spotted on the gravel bar were a couple of exogyra ponderosa oysters. I didn't pick them up. They are heavy to carry, plus I already have a good collection of nice ones from my early NSR trips. I was pretty disappointed, since this was the best looking outcrop in the creek. But I've learned that where there are exogyra ponderosa oysters, there are usually other fossils nearby. So, I started my trek back up the creek with the intention of checking the gravel bars closely. Sure enough, on the very next gravel bar, I spotted this.
