I made another trip yesterday morning to the Navarro County creek I visited a couple of times in the last few weeks. I had found everything I brought home last time on gravel bars, but ran out of time, and never got to search some good looking gravel bars downstream. Those gravel bars are actually a shorter hike than the ones I found fossils on, so I’ve been wanting to come back. I ended up being very disappointed in those new gravel bars. I found nothing. I finally hiked on up the creek to the gravel bars where I’d found stuff last trip, and hunted them again.

The day didn’t produce a lot. Most teeth were just broken pieces. Here is what I brought home. Click the photos to be able to zoom in and get a closer look.

Here are a couple of in situ photos.

Here is the tooth in that first in situ photo, no roots left at all.

And the tooth from the second in situ photo, with just one root.

Here’s the largest tooth of the day. No roots, plus the tip broken off.

This bacculite looks a lot like those you find at NSR, except tumbled a lot more.

I so rarely find complete, or almost complete ammonites, so it seems ironic that in this creek, where all the teeth are broken into pieces, I find this guy.

And then there’s this. Here are three views. That’s a Tic Tac I used to prop it up in the first photo. The last photo is a view of the back side. It kind of looks like a piece of jaw bone with two teeth, one of them very tiny, on it. It may be Enchodus.
