Hi everyone I’m very new to this and recently got two fossils that I’m hoping some of you may be able to help recognize. The first is a black bone found I believe in the ocean off Florida. I was told it was a deer humerus but looking at a modern deer humerus I’m not so sure. Could be deer just different bone? The other was one is the lower jaw bones of what I was told may be from a rabbit or rodent. Looking in a fossil book I’m thinking it’s possibly a beaver based on teeth. Old but not a fossil I’m thinking since it’s not stone? Regardless of what they are I think they’re pretty great so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

So I picked up a small piece in the sandy, South Texas Pleistocene gravel the other day because it looked like there might have been some tooth enamel, but it was so covered in a sandstone matrix that I wasn't sure what it might be. The sandstone wouldn't come off with water, but when I dipped it in vinegar last night, it started to melt away. I pulled it out quickly and rinsed it with water and realized it looks like a set of top and bottom front teeth. Maybe rat? My problem is this: the matrix is hiding a lot of detail here, and I'd ideally like to clean it off completely. But it may also be the only thing holding the upper and lower halves together. Any suggestions?

Palaeolagus ('ancient hare') is an extinct genus of lagomorph. Palaeolagus lived in the Oligocene period which was about 33-23 million years ago. The earliest leporids described from the fossil record of North America and Asia date to the upper Eocene some 40 million years ago.

Hello I was hoping to get an ID on this jaw to help clarify the particular age of a layer that is eroding away currently in Dallas County, North Texas. Thank you
