Here are some pics of a tooth I found. I originally thought it might be a eocene sea cow tusk piece. I sent some pics to @Boesse and he believed it to be a ta first premolar of an archeocete whale. So wow!

The same day I found the last Hexanchus I also found this fragment of an archeocete tooth. This pit has been amazing!!

Also here is a very cool stingray barb. It is the part where it attaches to the body of the ray.

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
