John S. Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Did a quick hunt this am. I rarely find centrums at this locality but found 2 today. I'm thinking they are associated, found close by.

FossilDAWG Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm thinking Cretodus, likely Cretodus crassidens for that spectacular shark tooth. I'm also kind of jealous of folks who seem to be able to get out and hunt every day in such productive sites. I guess not all of us have to work 60 or 70 hours a week just to sort of keep up.

John S. Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yes I do consider myself lucky. I work odd hours and take advantage of my breaks. Also helps to have some places close by. I figure I should keep working so I don't over due it : ) North Central Texas Eagle Ford Group / Ozan Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
