Basilosaurus from the Eocene ~40 million years ago.
This is a prehistoric toothed whale that fed on sharks!
I've actually found one of these in North Louisiana. Sea level was higher, and the land wasn't built around there by the Mississippi River yet.

I's probably the Thunder Egg, although I don't know for sure.

Pleurocoelus, it's a dinosaur from the Cretaceous ~100 million years ago.
This dinosaur looked like a long-necked plant-eating quadrepedial.
Since most of Texas was underwater during the Cretaceous this thing must have loved the warm coastlines!

Trilobite!
This is a sea creature that looks like a segmented roach. It was one of the most prolific forms of life in the ocean in Ordivician and Silurian times. ~450 million years ago. That means back then, all that part of North America was under water.
I've never found a complete trilobite, only a segment of a cheek spine (genal spine).

The famous trilobite.
If you took geo 101 you should know what a trilobite is.

Columbian Mammoth. This thing was around in the Pleistocene, ~1 million years ago.
I've never found any part of a mammoth, but I fell in love with prehistoric mammals more than dinosaurs. Why? Well, the reason we have fruits with huge seeds today is only because of these guys. In fact, now that no organisms besides us can really disperse huge seeds makes us really closely in tune with these big herbivores. Think, peaches, dates, avacado...all were the foods of these big creatures!
