sharko69 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Haven't been to Post Oak Creek in a couple of months since I have been traveling, but decided to pay it a trip today. The area was well trampled but I found a couple of teeth quickly so I hoped that at least it had not been picked over too badly. Spent a couple of hours and found lots of broken teeth and a couple of really nice examples. The best of the day was inches from a deep footprint so close to being trampled. A complete Cretodus crassidens. It is just shy of two inches and a beaut and one of my best yet. Edited August 31, 2016 by sharko69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It pays to have sharper eyes than the previous hunter. Well done. Nice report and finds.

Ludwigia Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nice finds! Although they are common there, the Ptychodus teeth are nice. Hard, if not impossible to find them over in my area.

erose Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 That is one great tooth. And the others are all keepers, including that big root without a cusp. I'll keep partials when they fall into the really big, rare or well preserved category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day when it cools we can hit the sulphur then drive to POC. Good thing with POC is it churns up after every decent rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once asked a dealer friend what he wanted for about half of a large Bone Vally Hemipristis. It would have been at least close to 2 inches when complete. He just gave it to me.

Here is where my partials go. I give a lot away to neighbor kids and as I travel there are people I work with who have kids that appreciate them. Have sent quite a few to the cousins in Sweden as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
