Grayson County creek – March 14th

Yesterday morning I drove to Grayson County and hunted yet another new spot in a creek. This one did not disappoint. With the extended drought (though parts of Grayson County did get a half inch of rain later in the day yesterday), I keep wondering how these creeks aren’t picked clean, but I’m still finding fossils. Here are a few as they lay. Click on the individual photos to be able to zoom in for a closer look.



Here is what a picked up. There are 124 teeth, but no Ptychodus teeth. It’s funny how hit or miss finding Ptychodus teeth seems to be in these creeks.

I think this a piece of a sawfish rostral tooth. I also found one of these my last trip, but didn’t recognize what it was.

I think this little guy is my favorite tooth from the day. I uploaded the other individual tooth photos from the day into this album.

And then there’s this rock. Here are views of both sides. I had to ask in The Fossil Forum what this was. It’s branching bryozoan, that attach themselves to oysters, it turns out.
