Hi, I am an alligator from Florida's Peace River. I live in a drainage pipe near an unnamed overpass on Highway 17. I hear that fossil-hunters often have questions regarding me and my fellow reptiles. I will now answer any and all questions.

Found this bad boy the other day, debating if its a meg or GW, what do you guys think?

This tooth was found in Parrish, Florida and I suspect it is some sort of whale tooth but i cannot be sure.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. As a child lived in a small town in western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, and I was an amateur rock collector. One of the possible fossils I found is shown below. I thought it looked like a footprint. However, at the time I didn't give it much thought. Recently I've become interested in trying to identify what made this impression. Was it caused by weathering or is it really a footprint? If it's a footprint what type of animal made it and how old is it? My knowledge of geology and paleontology is limited so I would appreciate any advice you could give me. I've attached 2 photos of the specimen and a 3rd photo showing the cliff face it was pulled from many years ago.

Hey guys, Around 2.5 years ago I found this tooth in the Santa Fe River in Florida, which is Pleistocene. I previously IDed it as a bison premolar (Bison antiquus), but looking back I am now less convinced by that ID. The chewing surface seems off, and seen from the top it seems a little too 'rectangular'. Due to its relatively small size, if it is indeed bison, could it possibly be a juvenile (hence explaining why it looks a bit different from normal bison teeth)? What do you guys think? I can provide more angles if necessary. Thanks in advance, Max

Hey guys, Here's a partial canine that I got from Cris & Kyle around 2 and a half years ago. It's from the Santa Fe River in Florida, so Pleistocene in age. I've compared it to several canines online, and my best guess right now is spectacled bear (Tremarctos floridanus), but I feel like it could also be a lower canine from a dire wolf (Canis dirus). It doesn't seem cat-like to me. What do you think? I can provide more angles if necessary. Thanks in advance, Max

I found these two items on the beach. They washed up on Clearwater Beach Florida. Any help identifying would be amazing.

I could use some help with the ID of this ornate little find from the Cookie Cutter matrix from Florida. I have considered ray tooth and shark or ray dermal denticles...@Al Dente @MarcoSr Thanks for looking.

First time to the peace river, after reading everything on here I was dying to get out there. I rented a canoe and stopped about a 1/4 mile from the launch on a gravel pit. Ended up staying in that spot all day. We maybe found 1000 teeth in total. We weren't sure if finding small teeth was a good sign for finding larger teeth or if it is irrelevant. I think I found a few baby megalodons and broken 2 Broken Makos. Not completely sure however. And 3 alligator/crocodile teeth. Nothing larger than about an inch. I plan on going back this week to look for larger teeth before this weeks rain brings the water up to high.

Hey everyone! I could use some help narrowing down whether these are fish teeth or something else entirely. They came from a Miocene site in Florida, and that's all of the information I have. Sorry if the photos aren't great, I'm not good at micro photography lol.

I've had this little round fossil for 2 years now and hadn't posted it on the forum. However when I saw a post where someone asked about a possible fossil seed they found in some Aguja matrix, I immediately recognized a similar pattern and shape that was displayed on one of the references shared by another member (a graphic displaying various fossilized palm seeds). I want to know what you all think. It's about 6 mm in diameter.

Hi any ideas on what This tooth fragment is of? Found in peace river Florida. Thanks

Is there a visual guide for tiny shark teeth?
thelivingdead531 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I was curious if there was a visual guide to tiny (between 1-5mm) shark teeth from Florida? I’m almost done going through a bag of micro matrix and have found at least 100 very small teeth that I would love to identify without bombarding the forum with more questions than I’ll already be asking on other items I’ve found. I can usually tell what they are when they’re larger, but these tiny teeth are somehow more difficult to me. The area that the matrix came from was described as a shallow bay that would have served as a nursery for sharks and other aquatic animals, so I’m guessing that they may be juvenile teeth? I would appreciate any help I can get here so I don’t have to constantly ask you all what shark a tooth may have come from, it’s really in the forum’s best interest here. -
Alright time to nip this in the bud. Scored this wicked little thing on the Withlacoochee near where it meets the Suwannee, I’ve posted it in three other groups online and while I’ve had 30 claims as to it being a worn-down shark tooth, I’ve had an equal amount of disputes. Help me solve this mystery and I’ll upvote all of your posts from here on out. Edit: I put in under my pillow last night hoping to make a quick buck but the Fossil Fairy left me a note telling me to keep it.

I recently purchased a pack of gravel from Florida filled with Miocene and Pleistocene fossils. Among the fossils was a giant beaver molar. I rinsed it off with water, left it to dry and came back to find that has started to peel. Has this happened to anyone before? How would you recommend consolidating the tooth so that it stops peeling? I have tried to use Butvar before but I have never seemed to get the right ratio to protect the fossil while avoiding the shine. Would you recommend dunking the entire tooth in the solution or to apply some using a dropper or paint brush? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/83952-toe-bone-possible-predator/ Very interesting toe bone. It seems very similar to the phalanx in the above thread. However it is longer and not as robust. While no guarantees ever, I find few horse teeth, but the ratio is 10 pre_Equus to 1 Equus. Definitely Pliocene/Miocene indicators.

Good day, fellow TFF'ers! I need your help in identifying this tooth. It was "seeded" in a bag of Florida matrix I received from the forum's owner through his website. The matrix is only described as from the Miocene, and the seeded material from Eocene to Pleistocene, all from Florida. I have searched for hours online as to what this tooth might have belonged to and have come up with nothing. I'm sure at least one of you will know immediately, so please, help a girl out in giving this tooth its identity back.

I found this on a gulf coast beach near Venice Florida. There were many shark teeth and other fossils in the area. Someone suggested it was a crocodile tooth. It has an odd, very knife like shape: the shorter side is thick and rounded, the longer tapers to an edge. The calipers in pics scales 1/10th inch. Any clues or help with ID is appreciated.

I know there is one for sure Meg... what is the smaller one??!! These are from central Florida.
