Went on a hunt to add to my collection, as well as to gather trading material. Hunted about 2 hours and found more shark teeth than my attention span will allow me to count (I stoped counting at 40) only a few otodus and cretolamnas, one possible well worn croc, some bone pieces, and a ton of turritella internal molds. Only took one piece of lignite, lots in the banks (of course off limits). Tons of Ray teeth as always. No Paleocarcharodon or huge otoduses, but all in all a good trip. Here's the total haul:

Possible croc tooth, possible coprolite (could just be iron) and two toothy things.

Nice haul, the picture is dark but it looks like a croc tooth.

 

If you want some complete turritella internal molds, park at Purse State Park (about 1.5 miles down Riverside Road on the left side), walk to the river (1/4 mile path) and head down river (left). After the point that you can see you will come to a cliff area that is completely filled with them...and yes, the teeth are there as well.
