It has been very uncommon to find Ptychodus whipplei in the San Marcos Platform (SMP) Area of the Western Interior Seaway. They apparently are much more abundant in the DFW and Sherman areas of Texas nearer to the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma. Now, I have five outcrops that yielded teeth of this creature. The image is of my largest Ptychodus whipplei find to date in the SMP.

I thoroughly enjoy the somewhat unique merge of a fossil hunter and an artist. Keep them coming..

I hadn't really considered that. I'll have to research on if Mule Deer are known as fossils in Kansas.

Is it possible that we have a different species of Deer ? Glad to see that you have deer teeth with and with out stylids.. This is new to me. I will have to check my deer teeth.

I wonder the same thing!
Me and my hunting partners have found several deer mandibles, and quite a few teeth- but the stylid/no stylid and shape of the stylids are inconsistent. Not sure why, but maybe gender, age, and genetics has something to do with it?

Not sure about the color .. usually Florida blue color is cobalt. I have a couple of deer m3s. You seem to have stylids missing on mine.
x. I wonder why..

That means there's a chance that the larger one is an Acrocoelites, especially A. trisulculosus from the Mulgrave Shale Member (Jet Rock) above the Grey Shales. It would ideally show three apical furrows while Passaloteuthis has only two. The third (ventral) one can be faint though. The Jet Rock is a lot harder and darker too.
