Here are my finds from my latest visit to Post Oak Creek. The first few pictures are of the shark teeth. Items 4-7 im assuming are part of a Mosasaur vertebrate? Items 8 and 9 are some type of mammal tooth. Not sure if it is modern or not. Finally item 10 is  picture of what im assuming are modern mammal teeth.

I especially like the vertebrae

Great haul!  Esp those tiny teeth!!  I am curious about the little round blue item.  Is it natural or man-made (an old marble, maybe)?

Just a marble. I see several have found them there but this was my first.

Item number 4 is definitely a mosasaur vertebra, probably caudal (from the tail) as I have one of a similar size that looks almost the same from the North Sulphur River. And you are correct about Item 8 being a mammal tooth, it's a broken fragment of a horse tooth - there's a good chance it's Pleistocene. Although there's a lot that's missing I'm fairly certain that just by looking at the design on the occlusal surface that it's part of a lower molar. They always seem to break apart after being carried in the flowing water for a long time the easiest since they're so much thinner than the upper teeth.

Thank you very much with the Ids. I am excited to find my first Mosasaur vert in over 10 years. The only other one I found was at the North Sulphur River in 2008. Right now my obsession is with the Ptychodus teeth.
