All these finds are part of something that swam...some more than others.  ;)  You get to choose which one adds VFOTM to the story of its existence.  :)

Great finds. I must add that my entry was found associated with an unidentified turtle in another block. This block contains just articulated alligator bones.

Lots of good stuff here! One thing though, @JohnJ, the first entry say Late Mississippian (Late Carboniferous), but it should be Late Mississippian (Early Carboniferous). I may have messed it up on my entry...
