Starting from the top going across is #4, a deer tooth, and second row, number 5 is an alligator tooth. The cone looking thing on the bottom is from a squid and oldest fossil, at least 70 million years old. The shark teeth are at least 30 million years old along with the alligator tooth. The deer tooth has got to be the most recent though I am not sure exactly old. I do know that deer started appearing around 40 million years ago, so maybe it is as old as the shark teeth. How it got there, I don;t know...washed into the creek from somewhere else or maybe it got dragged into the water by an alligator?
Heading back up there soon!
