makoken Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Went to poc today and ran into a geologist from the Dallas area. Anyway long story short he(Bobby) found a monster shark tooth. It looks like something from Morroco, Otodus or Cretolamna . Any help in i.d.?? Sorry for the lack of scale. the sunglasses were all we could come up with. I'll post my finds a bit later not near as exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Looks like Cretodus possibly. Awesome find!! Could be C. crassidens.

CreekCrawler Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I see "poc" referenced a lot here. Where/what is the poc?Washington state guy. Dave Post Oak creek is in Sherman Texas which is about an hour North of the Dallas area. The area is Cretaceous in age and the formation that outcrops there is the Eagle Ford Shale.There is a mix of shark teeth in the gravel bars that are collected by sifting or crawling the gravel bars.One can also find Paleolithic material and more recent vertabrate finds. We should call it Glass Creek as there is plenty to go around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
