Back at the lab, James showed us the difference in size of the baby crocodile we found in the gully, and what is normally found in Alabama. This scute is the smallest one found in Alabama thus far.

A large number of shark vertebra were found on the side of this chalk bank. More vertebra, both whole and broken, littered the ground below, where they had washed down the gully. After collecting, washing and sorting out the pieces, it was discovered there were approximately 20 whole vertebra found at this spot.

After a slight delay, well, a very long delay, due to a mixup in who was going to call who, we finally gained access to the site. To get to this new set of gullies, we had to drive in, then park and walk the rest of the way.
