Mammal tooth and rudist (Central texas)

Hey ya'll

 

Some finds from a last Sunday. The tooth was found buried in gravel, and was the one result from 2 hours combing a single gravel bar. The day before, that same spot, was extremely productive, funnily enough. That's just how it goes  :ironic:

 

The mammal tooth is small, and may very well be modern, but teeth from various Pleistocene fauna have been found around here that were still white. Just thought it was worth checking.

 

Also, the I'm thinking the rudist piece might be Durania austinensis, based on an ID I got on a similar, larger rudist piece before. Thought this little tidbit was a keeper because of its great colors. Found on the Ozan formation of Austin.

That's a colorful piece of Durania, too.
