Hello, I found this joint end of a bone in a spoil pile. It has nice brown color and it is NOT dense. Underside shows fibrous area. I have found Equus and whale bone, and deer antler in this area as well as Meg teeth. I read Hulbert's book and my speculation was a ankle bone of some type or phalange. I can see where it might be from a piece of humerus. fossil is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. Assistance appreciated. - Michael

Hello everyone! Found this at a land site in north port,fl . Its approximately 11.5 inches long (292mm) and 8 inches (203mm) wide. would of been pushing 13" long if the end did not have damage! I believe its Sinistrofulgue Palmbeachensis Whelk. Anyone agree? And is this size common? I know nothing about shells but starting collecting them for fun! Thank you!

Hi everyone, I have here three shark teeth that were given to me by a friend from Florida. That's where they were found, but I have no locations more specific than that. I'm pretty sure the second and third are Megalodon, but believe the first one is Carcharodon Carcharias. I would appreciate confirmation. 1 - Front 1 - Rear 2 - Front 2 - Rear 3 - Front 3 - Rear

During another rather unproductive trip to the Santa Fe, I stumbled upon this rather unusual tooth. Based on it's form, I would assume it belongs to some kind of small whale or other marine mammal. Anyone have something similar or know to whom it belongs? Appreciate it.

Hello All, I am brand new to finding Fossils. I usually go along the beach to find shark's teeth but we went to Gainesville a week ago and found a ton of cool fossilized teeth including a few dolphin teeth. We are now hooked and my wife has been making artistic creations with the teeth we found. I know some people do not like that but it is a way that my wife gets involved and she is my best friend so it is so cool that we are doing something together. We are going again next week to find more!

I found this June 13th laying fully uncovered on the sand. The weather was horrible and the tide was very high due to the tropical storm in the Gulf. I’m very new at fossil identification and any help with identifying and how I should preserve it will be very much appreciated.

My good friend Rob in Florida, not a Forum member, suggested that I post pics of the odontocete whale skull he found at an undisclosed location in the Pliocene of FL. He has sent pics to Smithsonian and they believe it to be Kogiopsis floridanum, a form of sperm whale described from a jaw section. He's enjoying the prep work, most of which can be accomplished without his scribe, and it appears that there are predation marks on what is left of the snout. Great find.

Hi. i found this fossilized tooth a couple of years ago. It was found on the beach on the north end of Amelia Island, Florida. They dredge sand to restore the beach fairly often which makes for great sharks teeth finding. So. Is it a bison tooth? Any guesses on age? Thank you for helping me solve this mystery.

I believe it is possibly a whale vertebra. It is light for it's size. Found inland Venice, FL in a dirt pile. Image 7414 shows flat surface of fossil. The remaining images are lateral views.

I have an unknown, dense, arced fossil that is solid. Image 1 shows the smooth, angled surface. I cannot find a reference for this item. Found in spoil pile today in inland Venice. Surrounding material from Pleistocene. Thank you in advance. This should be challenging... Regards, Michael

Fossils with questions are tossed in a special bucket for thinking about when hunting opportunities start drying up. That time has come. Here a couple: The question: Mastodon or Gomph; I have found Gomph fragments in this location. Another 2 inch fossil, that I almost threw away!! Laying in the sieve, I thought it was unidentifiable bone, but then noted the odd ends. So Bone or Tooth .... If you decided tooth for this 2nd one, you might check out the fossils in this old thread!!! Thanks for all responses.

Hello, I have positively identified three other teeth today by looking through the FF gallery and UF Florida Museum collections. This tooth is different from the Equus examples. I could not match it up with camel either. Some of you have incredible collections. Fossil collected from retention pond spoils in North Port, FL. Hole depth 5-10 feet below sea level. Area near Little Salt Spring. Thank you in advance for your knowledge. Regards, Michael

Hello, I am a middle school Earth Science and Crime Scene Investigation Teacher in Sarasota County, FL. I live in Venice close to the Myakka River. I enjoy fossil hunting inland. Always looking for shark teeth to give to students. Love gopher tortoises and recently found ancient tortoise clasts on our building lot. Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Hello, all. I just wanted to introduce myself to the fossil loving community. I live in northeast Florida (Jax area), and I am looking for any information regarding fossil searching in my area. I’m am particularly fond of shark teeth and have been beach searching for years. With the current pandemic, my interest in finding new spots has increased. And thanks to YouTube, I have been looking in creeks with little luck. I have a few leads that I can’t wait to search. I'm here to share my finds, look for possible locations in my area or those areas within fl and help identifying unknown fossils. Thank you for the add and I can’t wait to share my finds!!

Confirming Fossil Identification hello, I am trying to determine if this is an Equus Phalanges. Recovered from lake spoils in North Port, FL. Excavation to depth of approx 20 feet. I also found horse teeth in the area. Pleistocene area. Confirmation welcome. There are a lot of smart people enrolled on this forum.

Hello, I live in between Venice and North Port, FL, close to the Myakka. I have been finding tortoise fossils/clasts in my neighborhood. Most are in moist clay within a foot from surface. This location is SW of the Peace River Formation. I find deer antler, Meg teeth, and manatee ribs fully fossilized here also. This is Pleistocene area. I have not found fully fossilized tortoise. Mine are not totally solidified. I find many scutes/ spurs along with the clasts that are hardened. Looking for advice. Photos of one sample attached. Regards, Michael
