Very detailed shark coprolite specimens were found by several people.
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.
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.
A better view of the Clidastes mosasaur jaw found by Claire.
Larry found a handful of very detailed fossil shark coprolite.
