Peace River Florida find.
-
Back in February, I found some Carpal bones which turned out to be lunars from Florida camel/llama. There were about 32 mm in length. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/121276-tarsal-carpal/&tab=comments#comment-1329883 Now I have a newly found another carpal. It is 25% shorter and not as massive. Note the 3 articulation points. I believe these are only present in Scaphoid and Scapholunar (merge of Scaphoid & Lunar) bones. I would be more comfortable with confirmation of the tpe of carpal. I sent a note to Richard Hulbert at University of Florida. His response did not make me comfortable that we would identify the mammal. I have looked at the Scaphoids of a number of candidate mammals. It does not seem to match felid or canis. It does not match horse or camel/llama. It does not seem to match marine mammal. I am definitely looking for help and just hope someone on the forum ( @Harry Pristis @digit, @PODIGGER @Sacha) has seen something similar). Even if you can not ID the mammal, please give me pointers 1) Which Carpal is this bone? 2) What is the size of the mammal ? I am thinking 100 pounds based on Carpal Size. 3) Do you have Carpals or Tarpals in this size range 20 - 25 mm ? 4) Every mammal has carpals.. I though and checked Dolphins, rare cats, wolves, coyote... Do you have additional suggestions on fossil mammala of florida I should check. I am wondering about Racoon. I also thought about human, but they are different and bigger than this find.

In everyone who has been or frequents the Peace river in your opinion is it worth the trip? I’ve been many times and it seems like many of the good spots are all but tapped. I know there are always new fossils eroding out of the banks but still is it worth it for sifting?
-
Found the fossil pictured below in the Peace River, FL yesterday. My first thought on pulling it out of the sifter was osteoderm. The squareness of the object and bone appearance led me to this idea. The thickness and overall size is similar to the rosette shaped ones I have found. Problem is I haven't found any examples of a similar shaped glyptodont osteoderm. The specimen is too thick to fall into the giant armadillo range. Could it be a partial glyptodont or is it just something else. Maybe turtle? Any input/ideas are appreciated. Specimen in inches - 2 1/8" x 2" x 7/8" In millimeters - 60mm x 55mm x 25mm

This is my final ID question. I promise. Until the next one. I'm thinking an alligator tooth with a very worn crown. Tom

Hello again. Found in the Peace River. My uneducated guesses......armadillo claw, extremely well worn large shark tooth. Notice that it bends in two planes. Does this rule out the claw ID? As always, thank you in advance for any help. Tom

A good friend of mine just gave me a bunch of stuff, mostly sharks teeth, from the Peace River. I came across this. What is it? A micro vertebrae? Any help waould be appreciated. Thanks. Tom

Hi everyone! My family and I are staying in Boca for a week and half in a month and while I'm in Florida I was hoping to hunt the Peace River. It will be my first time at that site and I was hoping to see if anyone has any tips about hunting there and avoiding hazards environmental and large/scaly. P.S. Yes I am aware it is a three hour drive, I live in Houston, that's near the minimum I have to drive to find anything. I am fine with that.

More finds from my last trip .

Hi Everyone! This came from the Peace River of Florida, I'm torn between Casteroides and Neochoerus. Measurements: 18 mm tall 13 mm wide 10 mm thick thoughts?
-
My son found this tooth today. We believe it is a herbivore tooth based on the flat smooth surface. We're uncertain though, and would appreciate any info you may have.

I would appreciate an ID, if possible on this phalanx from the Peace River. It seems to be a little bulkier than the tapir phalanx that I have, but would not rule it out. It measures 1.4 inches (35 mm) in length and is .75 inches (24 mm) at its widest point. Thanks for the time.

I went fossil hunting in the Peace River, western Florida a few days ago and found many fossils, mostly sharks teeth. Several I am not able to identify. If these pictures are not adequate I can add more. Wasn't sure if the last one was a fossil, but it's very dense like a dugong rib so I kept it. The first piece has three pictures, the second piece has three, the third has three and the fourth has two.

New to fossil hunting and found this (and lots of other things) in the Peace River last weekend. Any idea of what it is?
-
Another find in Peace River, FL... Please help identify.... Thank u for ur time... =)
-
I found this tooth yesterday and thought bison right away. But it appears to be deformed and or broken so it caused me to doubt my ID. I would appreciate feedback on what others think. The crown of the tooth measures 12mm x 20 mm and is 10mm tall. Thanks!
-
Hi everyone! So, yeah. How does one tell the difference? It measures 2.28 inches straight line, .51 inches wide.

Hey guys, I’m hoping someone can help me out by confirming the ID on this odd fossil I found in the Peace River! It is a very worn section of jaw bone with 3 teeth showing. The teeth appear to be that of an equine, so I assume what I have here is a section of an equine jaw worn by water and time. The shape of it is odd, though.

I found this on a recent trip to the Peace River here in Florida. I'm trying desperately to identify it. Is this a piece of petrified wood? I haven't read anywhere online that petrified wood has been found anywhere in Florida so I'm kinda stumped.

Had a pretty good day on the Peace River, FL yesterday. Wanted to get one more hunt in before the temps dropped to the point it was just too cold to stand in the river all day even with a wetsuit. Find included deer teeth, camel/llama premolar, peccary tooth crown, gator teeth and the usual assorted shark teeth. I also came up with what I believe is the hoof core pictured below. After going through numerous photos on line and on the Forum I thought it was too big tube deer and too small to be bison, the shape didn't fit for horse. That left me with camelid as a possibility. I would greatly appreciate opinions on whether camelid hoof core is a good ID. Thanks! Specimen measures 44mm long x 41mm wide x 21mm high -

I found this tooth in the Peace River, Florida. I haven't been able to identify it. Any ideas? Thanks!

I need help identifying this jaw bone with teeth. I only have the one picture but the molars are pretty distinctive and hopefully are enough. This was found in the Peace River, Florida. Thanks for any help!

Picked up the below a few months ago. Initially I thought it may just be a concretion. After a second look I noticed holes on the stem portion that reminded me of a prior find. The old find, rare for Florida, was an extinct baleen whale ear bone (Parioetobalaena). While I don't see this as an exact match I thought it was worthy of posting and seeking additional opinions. I am hoping Dr Boessenecker @Boesse will have time to take a look and comment. The specimen measures - 30mm x 36mm x 23mm Or in inches = 1 3/8" x 1 1/2" x 7/8" The blue ruler in the photos is mm and the pink inches.
