From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
This tooth most likely belongs to the Raytown Limestone member of the Iola Limestone formation. I found this during late March/Early April. I call this my first tooth as I happened to find one 2 hours away from this locality a few days ago. I will upload that one later.- 2 comments

Last Sunday after church I decided to get outside for a little while. It was 38 degrees and windy but we had bought the grandkids some coveralls for Christmas so away we went. So my son and his two kids age 7 and ten loaded up and went out to a spot near Lake Brownwood to hunt some. This is an area we usually find lots of crinoid, gastropods etc but only occasionally find shark material. My son had his brain and eyes tuned in because he found 3 of the four petalodus pictured below. I just found the one small one. We did not find all the pieces but they went back together pretty good. He also found the hunk of cartilage. Of course the kids filled up a bag each of other fossils before deciding to start throwing them in the water was more fun.

I went out yesterday for about 3 hours to the Clay Pit in Coleman County. Although this is a good place to hunt it seems to be getting more and more picked over during the last several years. We don't get a bunch of rain and it dose not erode very fast. That said I found several fragments that I left for the next group of hunters and I found one decent broken tooth and a crinoid calyx. Also found one interesting itty bitty tooth.
