Don't have time for a sufficient description--from galveston, tx---shark teeth including a couple ray plates, an eagle ray plate, and some other odds and ends includding what I believe is a rodent femur.

Those are some great looking teeth! Where in Galveston did you look?

Shark teeth really are fascinating, aren't they? :drool:

Yep, I looked in the same place---the fossil the the bottom right is a fish bone from some region in the head--perhaps near the gills. I've had those to fall out of my crab trap before after I put a large fish head in there (what fell out was new of course--maybe one day they will be fossils haha). I'll try to take better pictures and upload them tonight--was very rushed when I posted before, but wanted to get a picture up.

Nice haul! Lots of nice looking teeth there. Did you just pick up complete teeth, or are they just in good shape down there?
