    ID help, please and thanks!

    Found in Peace River. This one has me completely stumped!
  2. Amarykah

    Sloth?

    This may be wishful thinking, but is this a chunk of sloth tooth? TIA!
  3. Amarykah

    Anything special?

    Is there anything special about either of these two teeth? They seem different - thought they might have deformities. Peace river, FL. Mako and ?? Thanks!

    “COO COO CACHOO!!”

    Found at peace river (FL). It’s ivory but not like the mammoth or mastodon ivory I’ve seen. My novice research says it’s WALRUS?! Looking for those who know to confirm/deny/educate “coo coo cachoo!” (Beatles pun for those who didn’t catch it). It also dried incredibly quickly when I put water on it - vid is for fun because it kinda blew my mind. Thanks!
  5. I planned to return for another week and stay at Brownsville. Came home a day early and had another amazing trip. Met up with Ron & David. The first photo is our combined haul for the day. Ron was wise to slowly work the tree all day. It was nice to see him find a nice Meg on one of the last sifts. Also very wise of David to have classic rock going to scare the critters. Thanks for helping me explore and showing me the improved sand flea rakes you have. That was one mighty big Cottonmouth we all saw when we were exhausted on the walk back. Phew. Can't believe it was frozen there. David was kind enough to take me to his spot the next day. I was really tired and bumbling around all day, somehow I reached down and found a Meg. Pictured front and back in hand. 9 & 10. David also found a Meg in the same spot and gave me a really nice tortoise spur. Had to call it an early day as I was exhausted, thanks again David for putting me on this one.. Will be adding photos of the combined haul from this site... An amazing amount of Snaggles at this location.. Afterwards are the C. megalodon/chubutensis excluding the one found elsewhere.. Appears that most of these species, especially the larger ones are in poor condition from being violently ripped from the formation by the CAT 5 hurricane. lots of small pieces of decent sized Megs. Unfortunate the big one was broken, note the staining from the top muddy layer. And cool to see the inside is still as white as the formation. Evidently, is was in fact taken from the formation quite recently by the hurricane. May the gods smile on me and let me find the other half, if not its still an interesting specimen. Afterwards a pile of broken smaller shark teeth.... mostly lemon shark.. Are these hammerheads or sharpnose? They seem much more abundant in the fossil record here than in other similar sites in Florida. Afterwards the Galeocerdo.. first and most commonly on top G. cuvier or aduncus? G. contortus in the middle.. G. mayumbensis on the bottom? Not sure about the ID on all of them.. it seems like they are much more abundant here than other similar sites. Maybe a patho tiger pictured? Tons of broken tigers as well.... including many mayumbensis..

    ID if possible (Ivory?)

    Found in the Peace River, FL. Arcadia area. I wasn't too excited about it but a man who was fossiling nearby wanted to see what I had found when I was leaving the spot and he said it was mammoth ivory. I do not think it is and told him that I didn't think so but he insisted quite enthusiastically. I am still learning and am a beginner so I told him he may be right and moved on with my day. But now I cant stop thinking about it haha, if that man is in here, I swear if you were trying me! The texture is hard and sounds quite like ceramic when tapped or dropped. It kind of appears rusty and dusty but it's not dusty and doesnt crumble when touched. I tried to include photos next to a penny and well lit from every angle. Thank you!
  7. I'll be on the river today and the rest of the weekend south of 760 (Nocatee) . If you see me stop and say hi! We'll be staying on our property mostly but can travel if needed.
  8. @digit Soft shelled turtle Apalone sp. Pleistocene Peace River Arcadia, Fl Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Days after Ken @digit posted a notice about FLMNH looking for Florida turtle/tort specimens, I found this it was meant to be donated. I have never seen a turtle anywhere near complete come out of the Peace. On top of that there is enough to identify it as female!

  9. Ladies and Gentlemen I do believe I have found the most productive fossil site I've ever found to date. We'll call it Hemi Heaven for now. This was an amazing one in a lifetime trip. I'd never been to this area to fossil hunt, and I really had no experience with alligators. I've been told the water level was too high and the area is super picked over. But as a surfer, I suspected the hurricane would open up new options. I packed up my kayak, tools, wetsuits, snorkel & mask, and camping gear. Couldn't convince anyone to go with, so I headed out solo to the Peace River Campground. They had just reopened after the Hurricane recovery and I had primitive camping all to myself. I set up camp next to the owners house at the boat ramp. First stop was Joshua Creek after setting up my tent @ 8am (I was waiting on the office to open). Went to SR 17 bout 10 mins from camp. Found a spot to park at a big paved gravel lot adjacent to the bridge. Think it comes up as Uling Oil on maps. They were letting semi trucks park for 6.00 and had a small food truck until they could rebuild a convienence store. I got some food even though I wasn't hungry, made some new friends, and paid to park and tipped em. I had read on your lovely forum that I could only head upstream to the Nocatee Ramp and off I went. Big gravel bed right away. Sifted here for the afternoon and the whole next day. Finds were decent but mostly worn and not colorful. These finds are not pictured. I tried going to Brownville for a day and attempted to kayak upstream after I saw an older gentlemen canoe that way. Did a complete about face after seeing a few gators, the water level was still rather high a 3.23 feet. Met a very nice German couple, and went back and poked around at the Peace at the campsite finding nothing interesting. Was cool to seethe Tamiami Formation and the Peace River Formation exposed in situ on the banks due to the Hurricane. The next day after hours of searching, and nearing dark I found the Hemi Heaven site. I returned by myself, daily in almost a frenzy for the next week or so, stopping midway through to drive my finds home and drop them off and then drove right back. Despite being exhausted, I actually lost track of time this place is so incredible. I think this might be the virgin Bone Valley Formation material. I have yet to find Clay at this site. Mostly sand with a 1 layer of gravel,mud balls, and clay balls on top. It's not bedded properly. I simply rake it up with my sand flea rake and drop it on the sifter. The next day i return, and more gravel has rinsed out of the sand in the same spot. However further exploration upstream is hindered by a large 8 foot Alligator. He chills on his bank all day about 50 yards away and watches me sift. Pictured on the table is the first half of my finds..more to come soon and also need pointers on how to process the micro material. I will be returning to the area in a few days at least until the 22-23 of Feb. I would love to share this site with others.. Anyone want to join me? NOTE.. Its about a mile walk form where I park. I use waders and yes there are large gators here. I'm in excellent shape and consider myself a woodsy person and this place scares me. Always had a great deal of respect for Shellseeker..wanna go??

    Peace River again

    Hunting yesterday, found an area of slightly larger teeth....It is not often that one location can yield Hemipristis, Mako, Megalodon and Great White. In the Peace River, GWs are really difficult to find and I am not positive about this one. Is this a GW or a Meg...? It sort of depends on whether you see a bourlette (or not) and how you see the symmetry of the serrations. There were a variety of Tiger (Aduncus, Contortous, Mayumbensis, and Cuvier), but no sand tigers.. Lots of Hemipristis and larger Lemons Also a camel_llama tooth...some Armadillo scutes, and two almost identical Capybara front teeth.... Digging next to me, my friend found this bone, and tossed it on the bank. I retrieved it thinking I might be able to get it identified.. The broken half bone is 2 x 2 x 3 and a possible carpal/tarpal, astragulas, calcaneum, etc of a megafauna like Rhino, Sloth, Bison, Proboscidien. A limited set of non_long bones. I think Daniel @Meganeuratracked down a Rhino Astragalus this way, and I also have the possibility that a TFF member may just recognize this 1st photo...

    Seeking Help With ID

    Finally able to get back out on the Peace River, FL after the flooding has started to subside. Hunting with a friend earlier in the week and he came up with what I think is a caudal vertebra. Looking at numerous photos on line and in reference materials that is the closest I can come to an ID. Based on size I am thinking large mammal or whale. I'm not sure there is even enough of it left to allow for an ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The specimen measures 3 3/8th" wide x 3 1/2" long x 1 7/8th" tall.
  12. Hello all. I've tried and tried to get the ID on this on my own and just don't have the experience. I dug this out of a gravel layer in the Peace River in Hardee County, Florida two weeks ago (early January, 2023). Some of the contours seem like an astragalus (horse, camel, ...) but the more museum photos I see the less sure I am. Thanks in advance for any information you are willing to share. The pics are a little overexposed (intentionally) to show the shape, so the color appears lighter in the pics than in reality. Thanks!
  13. So took my mom hunting yesterday so she could experience both a dry dig and a River dig - and found 2 teeth I’m unsure on. First is a molar, that I know of. But it’s too big/has too many cusps to be raccoon: And the second is a premolar still in jaw. Raccoon doesn’t quite seem to match based on size (The tooth is ~9mm long) but it’s shaped different than the bobcat p2 I found. Could it be coyote? Thanks in advance! @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis
  14. Out hunting - found what I think is a Symphyseal Meg, a tiny horse tooth I know is 3-toed but I’m not sure which, and then… some claw thing. @Shellseeker @fossillarry @Harry Pristis@Al Dente @hemipristis Meg? 3-Toed Horse tooth - I see an isolated protocone: Claw thing:
  15. So is this a pathological (or very posterior) Hemipristis serra lower, or is it a Physagoleous contortus? @Al Dente @hemipristis
  16. Okay so today I found a tooth that I’m not sure if it’s a Meg or a GW, and then an earbone (I know it’s an ear bone this time! ) that I’m not sure what it’s from. So starting with the shark tooth - the shape and size fits a GW, and the root, while slightly broken, also matches GW. However, it’s got a slight bourlette, which makes me think Meg. But I know that some GW’s have Bourlettes too. @Al Dente Any ideas? Comparison between today’s find (middle) and GW (right) and Meg (left): Now for the earbone. I know it’s mammal and not cetacean… but that’s it. It is 27mm x 14.5mm: @Shellseeker sorry to keep tagging you but you know ears!

    Peace River Claw Core IDs

    Not entirely sure if these are claw cores or other bones, but figured I’d ask. 1) 2) Once again, thanks in advance! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker
  18. Terminal Stareasaurus

    Arizona Fossil?

    Found this in Winslow Arizona. I'd like to know what type of mineral these fossils are in if they're fossils.
  19. So went hunting a few times this weekend - and I found myself a spot! It produced, and produced, and produced some more, and may still have some left to give, though I probably won’t be going back for a couple weeks. Surprisingly, no Megs. Couple tiny frags. Shark teeth in general were relatively scarce here, but that’s okay - I was hunting for mammal stuff anyway. So to start off with my best find - an absolutely stunning, complete, most of the roots still there, Tapir tooth: Following that up with a spectacled bear molar cap: An opossum jaw with 4 teeth: Tapir partial, Tapir canine, and Llama incisor: Muskrat jaw, Camel tooth, and partial horse incisor: 2 Deer teeth, 2 River otter teeth, and 2 Peccary teeth: And to cap off the teeth - Raccoon jaw with tooth and a bunch of other raccoon teeth: For the rest of the finds - a Gator vert: All kinds of armadillo osteoderms including 1 Pachy, and 1 possible Pachy flex osteoderm (second row, last on the right): Big bone chunk I’m still waiting on an ID for, antler pieces, and 5 tortoise spurs: Vertebrae of varying kinds including snake, frog, dolphin, fish, and shark - including the biggest shark vert I’ve found which also happens to be perfect. (Minus the limestone which I’m currently carefully scraping away): Deer phalanx, cetacean ear bones, and claw cores: And finally, thresher shark teeth, a symphyseal lemon tooth, and a whole bunch of gar fish scales: Not included: like 9 gator/Croc teeth, some dermal denticles, lots of tusk and Probiscedean tooth frags, some bones that are neat but I can’t ID, and a decent bit of shark teeth.
  20. Forgot to ask about this one yesterday! Just a fragment, but hopefully enough for an ID - my initial thought was bison but I’m sure horse is also possible!
  21. Meganeura

    Strange bone chunk

    Another find from just now - big chunk of bone - about 3 inches/75mm I think. Got definite Features. @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker Sorry to tag you guys again - you’re great at this though

    Peace River Claw Cores IDs

    Found 2 more claw cores today - no clue what they are - help is appreciated! 1) - 15mm in length 2) 7mm in length:
  23. Been a while since I’ve posted an ID - definitely taking that as a good thing and a sign of me learning. Today I found what I’m 99% sure is a fish jaw, though getting an id would be awesome, and then what I think is a claw core or distal phalanx of some kind. 1) Fish Jaw - 12.5mm in size 2) Claw core? - 25mm in length: Any help is appreciated as always!
