Trip hunt to the local creek south of Arkadelphia, yielded echinoids, falcatas, cardias, sponges, and various shark teeth. 2 teeth were Enchodus and also a Squalicorax kaupi. We were hunting in the Ozan Formation.

Getting ready for the hunt. Left to right, Lance Hall, Kelly Irwin,Frank Holterhoff, and George Phillips.
