Enchodus teeth and Palatine jaw pieces, even one of them had the fang intact!

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.

You couldn't ask for a beautiful day to fossil hunt with BPS. It was hot, but the overhanging trees provided a cool shade and the water at just the right temperature to enjoy the beauty surrounding us! BPS August field trip was on a creek, hunting for Cretaceous and Pliestocene fossils. A great time had by all!
