Parrotfish jaw & a huge Cowrie!

We had some serious rain the past few days, so I thought I"d head back to the outcrop. No teeth this time. :( However, I found a huge (3") Cowrie, a lg limpet and a Parrotfish jaw! There was also the usual handfull of strombids, crab claws and neritas. I was psyched about the Parrotfish jaw. I've never heard of a fossil specimen, although I"m sure they're out there. Anyways, pics below.
