2 Cretolamna and 1 Squalicorax tooth.

Broken teeth finds.

Finally finished the micro material brought back from the BPS field trip creek excursion 2 weeks ago. This creek produces a heavy concentration of Enchodus fish teeth, and palatine jaw pieces of any creek I've visited! In the picture, you will see anterior and posterior Enchodus teeth, Pseudocorax, Scapanorynchus (Goblin shark), Gastropod steinkern, Fish Vert, six-sided quartz crystal that has been creek worn, and Urchin Spines... I'm astonished that these spines as delicate as they are survived into fossilization, buried in matrix for eons and tossed around in that creek! Cretaceous Period, Demopolis Chalk, Southeastern USA.
