Eagle Ford Shale with Teeth from Central Texas

[Jackito]

I have some extra shale pieces I'd like to trade. The shale is from Central Texas, and is cenomanian/turonian. Pliosaur, plesiasaur, mosasaur, and coniasaur is possible but really rare. The most common teeth are shark and fish and assorted bits. I've seen very few invertebrate material. Mainly shell and shell hash.

 

The piece I have for trade has a two nice teeth showing on top, two ptychodus on the sides, a fish vertebra, and some fish teeth showing. There might be a couple more shark teeth and lots of smaller fish teeth inside the rock. Check out my trip reports and you can see more about the material and things I've found.

 

The rock is about 5 inches long, 3 inches wide, and about 1 each thick. The bottom is a very thin layer of hard rock, and the rest is softer, flaky, fossil-filled shale.

 

The material is hard but flaky, sandy, and fairly easy to work with. These pieces are fun to disassemble and search.

 

I have larger pieces with several teeth showing as well. The teeth are usually in really great shape for being 80m to 100m years old.

I'd like to trade for something interesting. Vertebrate would be nice, as would anything reptile or amphibian.

 

I'm a new hunter and collector so im open to any trades.

 

I hunt for fun and not for profit so its important to have a trade we can feel good about. My goal is to be reasonable and communicative and be flexible if anything issues pop up!

 

Thanks!
