08-07-vl-1751-pearl
Leisa has found a tiny pearl and broken shark vertebra. A few pearls like this have been found in the south, but they are very rare.
08-07-vl-1753-shark-teeth-
Badly worn shark teeth and a carina (medial plate) from a lepadomorph barnacle (the pointy item second from the bottom.)
08-07-vl-1711-shark-teeth
Shark teeth found by Claire, Scapanorhynchus texanus and Cretoxyrhina mantelli.
08-07-vl-1696-coprolite
Very detailed shark coprolite specimens were found by several people.
08-07-vl-1782-vertebra
Another shark vertebra found by Claire. NO, we weren't LETTING her find them, she was tuned in to all kinds of fossils on this trip! She was even finding fossils where several of us had scoured the area and found nothing.
08-07-vl-1786-maybe-ammonite
This appears to be a very large ammonite (3-4 feet in diameter) in the side of a gully wall. Quicksand (wet chalk) 10 feet below and the ledge is 10 feet above, so this will prove to be a challenge to excavate.
