A Ptychodus Morning!

Recommended Posts

Killer morning at Post Oak Creek TX. I found the following three types of Ptychodus teeth today. Whipplei, Mortoni, and Mammalaris.

Those are some old teeth. I wish there were more variety of geological periods in my area to hunt. Nice finds.

Very nice report; that looks like a really productive site :) 

Those Ptychodus teeth are beautiful!

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

Very cool teeth! Those are edging toward the top of my fossil bucket list with every post you make. ;)

 

Thanks for taking us along on your trip.

 

 

Cheers.

  • digit changed the title to A Ptychodus Morning!

I love :wub: those Ptychodus teeth.  P. mortoni accounts for 99% of the specimens in Alabama, it's interesting that there is so much more diversity in Texas.  Also it's amazing how Post Oak Creek keeps producing year after year, considering the collection pressure.

Thanks everyone. I'm happy I found a remote productive spot without footprints :).  I just wish it wasn't so far from my house.

No footprints sounds like a good place for a fishing rod too. Nice finds.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
