flyingpenut Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) I went out to brave the Texas summer heat and was well rewarded. Post Oak Creek is so heavily picked, especially in the summer, that I didn't expect much. I even went there with the Dallas Paleontological Society last month and saw a ton of footprints then and not many good teeth. The first three hours I found almost nothing, as I expected the surface was all picked over, however I found one gravel bar that people must not have gotten to because I started finding a few decent cretodus, squalicorax, goblin shark teeth, and a couple of nice ptychodus. Finally I found two huge teeth about a foot apart from each other. The first one is by far my largest ever complete tooth that was as large as two quarters. Then the next one with the nice cusplets is larger than a quarter which would still have been my largest find if I hadn't of found the first one. There are also two pictures, front and back, of some worn chunkosaur bones and two micro teeth. Also another cool find was a ptychodus in the secondary matrix. See if you can spot it? I always like to look in the secondary matrix sticking out of the river banks as I usually find a small tooth or two but this time I found a good one. The last two pictures are of a worn vertebrae. Not sure what from though. Mosasaur? Edited September 9, 2021 by flyingpenut 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Apart from the Americans, nobody knows the exact size of a quarter, we are a lot of non-Americans on this forum. Thank you for speaking in cm or inches, and for putting a ruler on the photos and put fewer fossils per photo to see them bigger.

I try to put stuff in millimeters for multiple dimensions. When working with Late Cretaceous shark teeth, it always sounds more impressive to say 16 mm than 5/8 inch. Or, 8 mm than 5/16 inch. Or, 24 mm than about the diameter of an Estados Unidos (EE. UU) quarter (that's "United States" for non-Español folks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the teeth next to a tape measurer in cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
