I was rearranging some fossils and came across a couple boxes of Florida fossil shells that I collected about 10 years ago from a shell pit near Arcadia, Florida. These shells I believe came out of the Caloosahatchee Formation. I was recently told that the owner of this pit had passed away and that access to this pit is no longer available. At the time of my visit, it was with a "paid guide" that got me and about 10 other people in. While they waded to a small island that was in the pit looking for meg teeth, I went for the guaranteed find- shells. I will have to work on ID's at a later point, but wanted to show the size and diversity of the larger, interesting shells that I found.

A week or so back I posted a few shells I had found in a shell pile above Arcadia Florida. In the intervening time, Hurricane Irma chased me from Sanibel to Ormond on the Atlantic Ocean. I drove back today, constantly looking for gas and coming down Route 17 which was hard hit by the hurricane (washed out roads, trees, power lines, telephone lines down). I paused at one of my favorite Peace River launch sites: Heard Bridge. For anyone who has been there , these two photos are almost unbelievable. It is normally 30 feet between the bottom of the bridge to the river; The parking area normally handles 15 cars, is completely inundated. Because I am an addicted fossil hound, I stopped at the shell pile in Arcadia. These last few photos.. Is this the seashell or an endocast? In either case, please help ID the shell.

Hey all Florida and south Georgia members: hope you all stay safe and don't take too much damage from Hurricane Irma. Hopefully those of you in south Florida have already gotten out of harm's way. Don C

I recently purchased a small lot of Alligator teeth from the Miocene bone valley of Florida online, and three out of the four looked as a Alligator tooth usually looks (two sutures on each side, straight, stubby) but one looks to me like a crocodile tooth, here's some pictures can anyone tell me which one it is? It's partial which muddles an ID a little.

As noted in another thread, I purchased 5 pre-Equus teeth from a hunting friend, who used to work as a dragline operator in a Bone Valley Phosphate Mine. There were evidently perks of such a job. While looking at the horse teeth, I saw what I believed to be a miniature Mastodon tooth with some roots and a little bit of jaw material. I thought TFF members would appreciate seeing it as much as I did.
