This is an old quarry in the Cretaceous deposits in north Texas. This is in a layer called the "Fort Worth formation" about 101 million years old. We hosted some students from University of Wisconsin and they also found excellent examples of fossils for their research lab. One of the centrums we found will probably be donated to SMU. I don't know the species of the shark although the well known sharks in these deposits are "Cretalamna, Leptostyrax, and Squalicorax".
Wow !! What big vertebrae. I did not know they could be that large. I have collected some shark vertebrae about the size of a quarter north of Macon Georgia years back Have you ever found any meg teeth? Do you know what species of shark it maybe? email is garockhound@aol.com Thanks Frank
