I was hunting the Peace River on Wednesday and up came this bone that seems to have enough features to be recognizable. In the 1st photo, long bone coming in from right; in 2nd photo from left... Yesterday, I moved to a pre_pleistocene location, with mostly Blancan fossils. Found this one about the same size and once again with features that should be recognizable. So to start, I am just trying to determine type (Femur, Humerus, Tibia, etc). Certainly, let me know if you recognize the species, but even type of bone would give me a starting point...

Florida Gastropod Identification Help - Fossil Conch Shell
Gregory Kruse posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone, I found this conch in N. Cape Coral, FL. They were in a pile of shells being used for landscaping so I presume that the sediments came from a nearby quarry of ?Pleistocene age, possibly the Caloosahatchee Fm. Can someone help me verify and identify this fossil? Is it Strombus floridanus? Thank you!

I think I know what this is, but will hold off until other input is given..... found on the Brazos River in Texas, Pleistocene @Harry Pristis @Lorne Ledger @fossilus

I found this tooth on the Brazos River in SE Texas today. It looks like a Bison p1 to me and is similar to one I found last year. This one is much larger leading me to question whether it is indeed bison

Found this fossil inland, Venice, FL. Early Pleistocene material. I believe this is perhaps tortoise shell showing spinal attachment point to vertebrae. Piece. Measures 17cm x 13cm x 5cm thick. All photos taken at 1x. I look forward to reading your remarks. - Michael

Can someone help me verify and identify this fossil? I know its Conus, can we id the species? Ihave read that there are thousands of species, so it might not be possible. Thank you!

Hello, I found this bivalve along the Sanibel Causeway in Ft. Myers, FL. They were in a pile of shells being used for landscaping so I presume that the sediments came from a nearby quarry of ?Pleistocene age. Can someone help me verify and identify these two fossils? Thank you!

Hello, Is there anyone that can point me to the correct genus species of these gastropods? Are they in the family Buccinidae? See reference here: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/busycotypus-scotti/. I found them at the Sanibel Causeway where they had a fresh stockpile of shells for landscaping. Therefore the provenance is unfortunately unknown.

Hello all, I need some help identifying this gastropod. It is from the Babcock Ranch northeast of Cape Coral and Ft. Myers. We collected these fine specimens from some of the "spoils" near the golf course. It appears to be a gastropod, but that is as far as I can go with the identification. Does anyone have any idea what the age and formation would be at this former quarry site? Most of my references would say "undifferentiated Pilo-Pleistocene deposits. Attached is a photo and a kmz link to the site. Thank you in advance! Greg Kruse Casper, WY Babcock Ranch.kmz

I found these near Cape Coral in a stock pile of sediment that was going to be used for landscaping. Are they Arcinella cornuta, the spiny jewel box clam? See link here: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/arcinella-cornuta/. Thank you!

I collected these presumed plant parts at a late Pleistocene site in Roosevelt Co., NM. They are mineralized, and came out of the same layer of sediment as Mammoth, Equus, Ground Sloth, etc. The triangular "stem" parts remind me of Sedge, but I'm not sure.

I have more old finds to put out there today. All of these were found in the early 2000s in the various Monmouth County brooks (Big Brook, Manasquan River, Ramanessin, etc). Unfortunately, I have no more detail on locality. All of these were specimens that I showed to Dave Parris a long time ago but I didn't take very detailed notes. Along with suggestions for identifying these, I would also love to know which might be special enough that a museum or researcher might want to add them to their institution. I'm not interested in donating to a private collector but if any of these are significant, I would like them to be available to researchers. Below are the notes that I have from showing these to Dave P. More images in the replies. A - Jaw Section from a carnivore. Gray fox is a possibility B - Wood Turtle Plate - Glyptemys insculpta? - Xiphiplastron? C - Deer Like Tooth - Left Lower 3rd - premolar - recent to sub-recent D - Small Beaver Tooth - right lower 2nd molar E - Metatarsal I - Beaver or Dog radial or clavical (I'm not sure that this note is actually for this specimen) J - looks like a cetacean vertebra to me L - looks like a piece of a Shark River Fm coral or bivalve
