Found this a while back on a landsite I was wondering if its worth taking out of the rock or if its better to use it as a display piece. Along with if anyone has any idea of what it could be, I think its a whale ear-bone or a tortoise leg spur. It for sure would have that bone valley blue in any case.

Hello, I hope this is the appropriate location to post this question, my apologies if it isn't. Does anyone have advice or location suggestions for fossil hunting in the Florida panhandle region? The few locations that have been suggested to me *appear* to not legally allow collecting. I am alright with just observing, but my preference is to have the option to collect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recently found a few shark teeth on the beaches of Ft. Pickens (Gulf Islands National Seashore) on the Gulf of Mexico. The tooth in the top left corner is from a Great White. The second from the right on the top row is from a Bull Shark (I think), and I believe the tooth on the bottom right corner is from a Lemon Shark. Can anyone help me identify the rest? Many thanks in advance!

Hello all! I'm hoping to get a bit more information on this "tooth" I found in the surf at Panama City Beach, Florida, Bay County. I was literally telling my wife that I really would like to find a shark's tooth on the beach and then found this about 5 minutes later. It doesn't look like any of the shark's teeth I have ever seen elsewhere and doesn't seem to have any edge serations. I'm just hoping to get some idea as to: 1. Is this an older or fossilized tooth? 2. What shark or other animal is it likely from? Not well visualized from the photos (best seen on pic #4 and #6), but this tooth has at least two foramina that extend longitudinally from the top down to the lateral protrusions near the point or apex. You can see their origins along the upper mounting edge. If it really is a tooth, I'm curious as to what the purpose of the foramina would be? Perhaps sensory nerve canals of some sort? Venom injection ports?? Interesting structure either way... I'm a total novice who just happened to find this on the beach a few days ago. So, any information anyone can provide is definitely welcome! I hope the photos are satisfactory, but please let me know if I need to redo anything. This is the best resolution I can do with my phone. Thank you!! MrPisky

My friend Dave is a snowbird == returns to a northern State 1st week of May. He is anxious for a few last hunting days until November. We were out today to a spot that has numerous small shark teeth and occasional interesting finds. I forgot to bring a sieve... For the 1st 3 hours, doing 10 sieves an hour. I pretty much was getting skunked. Relatively few shark teeth and 1 occasional. I do like little dolphin teeth. I think I'll be able to ID this one... Then things picked up.... Twice as many small shark teeth, and more than a few occasional. That's an Equus Earbone middle right. and about 1/2 of a sloth carpal upper left... But there is one find on this layout that I am REALLY pleased to have if it turns out to be what I think it is... I even like it if it does not turn out to be a Peccary premolar. APL 23 x W 17 x CH 32 mm This one made my trip. Enjoy

So to piggy back on my ID post, I did a door knock and got permission to dig in a creek on an expansive cattle farm, this was a trip just to scope out the lay of the creek using my 👀 and it totally didn't disappoint. Deer Pedicle Tooth/Frag of unknown origin Fish Vert perhaps? Creek worn Horse tooth Holmesina scutes? Broken posterior meg Honker of a puffer plate

Went to scope out a private creek that i permission to dig, just looking for eye finds.. Safe to say this is petrified wood..or something else?

This little shell is the size of a pencil eraser. It came out of a larger fossil shell I found. Best photos I could get so far.

Hi there! I am not sure, but my research so far has led me to believe this may be a coprolite, perhaps from a turtle, but I am not sure. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated. I’m also very interested in what the blue crystals are. It was found in Florida in a parking lot, so I’m sure it was not initially from there. Whenever the Gulf coast is dredged, they haul it to a place called Fort drum in the middle of the state. A really cool, retired vet runs the place and I have mined for calcite crystals there with my girlfriend and his guidance. It is a lot of work but a lot of fun and we found a bunch. Perhaps this has come from the ocean, and somehow wound up here I am not sure. Look forward to your responses! Thanks so much.

Found this tooth near the peace river it looks like a hastalis tooth but the root is very wide and its much more girther than any other hastalis tooth ive ever found. One of my friends told me it could be a transitional fossil but I was hoping for more opinions on it.
