Scapanorynchus texanus
Santonian
Austin Chalk
The Santonian is an uncommon target for Texas fossil hunters, due to the often merciless difficulty of hunting vertebrates in the upper Austin Chalk. However, those rare, ephemeral lenses of fossiliferous accumulation make the hours of sweat and research worth it. Found the same day I discovered the Hadrodus specimen, August 2021.
