I drove to college station to meet up with my future roommate today, and on the way back made the obligatory stop by Whiskey Bridge. This was my second time there, and.... I'll just let this tooth speak for itself. It had me on my knees. Flawless.

That is a very nice tooth!  I know you are a shark tooth kind of guy, but I hope you didn't ignore the fantastic diversity of beautifully preserved invertebrates there!  :fingerscrossed::heartylaugh:
