Trip to Trussells Creek

Recommended Posts

Our family went on a day trip with the Alabama Museum of Natural History to Trussell's Creek recently...

 

It has a loads of Cretaceous shark teeth... when you sieve the gravel bar in certain spots, every load will bring up a couple of teeth.  Most broken though!

 

Here are some of our finds (mine and my youngest son).  Mostly shark teeth, but I did find some bits of bone, baculite parts, and a fish corprolite.

 

My  daughter found a cepahalic clasper from a shark! (It went to the museum).

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
