Post Oak Creek, Texas - Part Two: Verts Crabs Etc..

Recommended Posts

Part Two of my Post Oak Creek matrix finds. A fossil friend sent me 5 gallon bags of gravel and I have been slowing making my way through (one and a half bags done so far!) and here are some of my best finds. The previous post (Part 1) were all teeth - shark and sawfish and fish etc...  This post is ALL THE OTHER STUFF. Here is a link to the first post in case you want to see the TEETH.

 

My favorites- Crab Claws! 

Two sides of two claws - Size 1/4 inch

More claws and maybe a fragment of carapace?

Size: Claws - 1/8 inch and fragment 1 inch

Vertebras - So many little Verts! These are my favorites: 

Shark Verts (Mostly?)

Not completely sure about Top Left one...anyone know? It's oddly square.  It's also larger - 1/4 inch

The rest are 1/8 inch

Some neat Dermal plates. Pretty sure Top Left and Bottom Right are Turtle. The others are maybe fish and shark....

Size  Turtles are 1 inch and the others are 1/8 inch

Sawfish Rostrals 

Except Bottom left...not sure what that is. Perhaps a tooth? 

Size 1/16 inch

Other various things:

Top Left I think if a Pycnodont tooth, (1/8 inch)  Top Right is maybe a Sclerorhynchus  tooth or rostral? (1/4 inch) I really don't know! But it is interesting!
