Fish and Marine Vertebrates from North Texas

Because most of Texas was underwater millions of years ago, there are several places to go to find fish and shark teeth as well as bones and teeth from mosasaurs and other sea creatures.  Shown below are items from the north sulphur river in Ladonia, TX, Midlothian, TX quarries, and Post Oak Creek in Sherman, TX.
