Vertebrae Heaven and a catfish friend

Well I headed to the river today to check out a new diving spot.  You never know if the spot will turn out to be a honey hole or dud.  The visibity was ideal and the water a bit cool.  I started on a sand bar which rarely produces and thus I worked my way around it hoping to find some gravel or layer.  It wasn't long before I found some gravel and layer and was putting junk in my bag.  I was finding bullets (some older than others), bullet shells, and even some change.  Fossils were few and far between.  I did run into a nice 2" Angustidens which gave me some hope to continue.  As I moved forward I caught something move out of the top of my mask.  I looked up to find about a 1 1/2 foot catfish holding position in the current likely waiting for something yummy to float down to him.  Well, he didn't expect me, but he didn't seem to startled either.  As I moved along side of him searching he eventually moved off as if frustrated someone took his spot.

After a few small teeth and a whale vertebrae or two, I found a shark vertebrae.  Then another.  Then I found a few sticking out of some layer.  I began to fan and fan some more until almost 40 shark vertebrae lay in my bag.  I fanned the area hopeing the vertebrae mark the grave of an old shark with big teeth to no avail.
