Texas Fossil Hound Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It was a perfect day to be out poking around in the rocks Nov 2, so my wife and I ventured out to the NSR to spend some time together. She found some great stuff (including a cool red zone echinoid). But my day was spectacular. Here is what I found: This pile includes sereral nice verts, a large plastron piece, artifacts, shark teeth, mammoth tooth shards, and a very impressive Mosasaur tooth. Here is a closer view of the vertebrae and a bone I have yet to ID (bottom left). A closer view of the Mosasaur tooth, a 50mm Goblin shark tooth (Scapanorhynchus texanus), a small but perfect lateral Cretolamna tooth and an unidentified tooth - possibly Plesiosaur or croc. A series of large to small Enchodus jaws. Next to them is a large flatened shark coprolite. A nice pile of artifacts - whole and broken. A couple closeups of some other verts. The one ont he left is definately Mosasaur, the one on the right I think is Plesiosaur. What a great day! Jon "Silence is Golden, but duct tape is Silver."
