Conlinoceras tarrantense+pet wood

[Shaun-DFW Fossils]

I have 3-4 spots (duck creek, Grayson, Fort Worth formations) I haven’t yet revisited since it rained that are really close to my house. I’ve been to the same conlinoceras spot 3x and this was my last visit until we get heavy rain/erosion again. It didn’t disappoint! Funny how I can walk by the same spot 3x and find things I missed. Haha! I’ve seen ammonites missing chambers before, but this little one seems to have indentations that might have been there originally, like from bite marks or something. What do you think? Just my child-like imagination?

the nice looking white calcite specimen missing part of itself is from another larger creek that my primary spot feeds into more upstream. Tarrant County TX.

I forgot to add this picture of a tooth I found. I may post this in the ID section. I need help identifying it.

Nice haul! 
 

the tooth looks like bison or bos(cow). I’m about 50/50 on my accuracy with these so far but I do think yours looks like a better bison example. The reason is not just the occlusion  surface and look but also yours is pretty hefty in size. Bison are typically bigger than cow. Yours looks more fossilized than my cow teeth as well. 
 

The experts will be along soon. Might want to add measurements. Height/width/chewing surface size etc. If Coco sees this post you’re gonna get in trouble.

Thanks for the graphic! That’s a new one for me. You’re right, I should have measured it. Lighting is good and I find it easier to hold it to take close-up photos quickly. But measurements would be helpful..I’ll do that when I get a chance.
