John S. Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thought I would share this little guy. Wife found it on the shores of Lake Texoma on the border of TX and OK. Latissimus? North Central Texas Eagle Ford Group / Ozan Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 What formation(s) are nearby that are likely sources? Where did she find it specifically? Knowing the formation will help with ID. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

MeargleSchmeargl Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Little gem. Sweet! Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSRhunter Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Paraptychodus washitaensis if found around Denison Dam. Should be Duck Creek fm.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 @John S. Take a look at this map of the Sherman area and let us know where you found the tooth and what formation(s) are close by. https://txpub.usgs.gov/dss/texasgeology/ The Duck Creek and the Eagle Ford Group are lithologically distinct and do not occur in the same area. The Eagle Ford Group does not crop out on the Lake Texoma shore. Once we know what unit they are from we can give a better ID. Here is a link to a paper about a tooth found in the Duck Creek Formation by Hamm: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/270293937_Paraptychodus_washitaensis_n_gen_et_n_sp_of_Ptychodontid_shark_from_the_Albian_of_Texas_USA My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
