My son's shell-crushing shark teeth

Last summer my youngest son found a lot of very nice fossils at Trussells Creek, Alabama (including a mosasaur and croc (I think) teeth)

 

(My kids are much better at fossil hunting than me! They have sharp eyes and can find tiny things!)

 

I wanted to share his best find of the trip- a huge partial tooth of a shell-crushing shark; it is next to a smaller one he also found.

 

It is 1.75" across at the widest. 

 

I am planning to go with them next time!

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

I hope you can find at least another piece of that one but that may be all that's left.  Big partials are great finds too.
