My finds from the other day on the beach at northern Amelia Island.
WildCard posted a topic in Fossil ID
I’m trying to get better at identification so I labeled the pieces with what I think they are but some I can’t figure out. I would love some guidance if anyone has any input! Thanks Fernandina Beach Amelia Island Florida USA- 3 replies

Hi group, my family and I are longtime shark tooth hunters. We’ve always gone to Venice and Sarasota. We’ve found great success using a shark tooth shovel and digging in shell piles a few feet into the water. We usually find hundreds of teeth this way. We’ve decided to try Amelia island this year and it seems that most people don’t use shark tooth shovels over there. I understand you can find teeth on the beach but are shark tooth shovels still useful to dig in the water? Is there any reason why this wouldn’t work as well as it has for us when we go to Venice?

Normally I’m just out grabbing shark teeth on Amelia. I’m getting decent at identifying the main common finds, but struggling with some of these odd shapes I see on and off. Hoping for some help learning about and identifying fossils. I’m a fossilnovice, so I apologize if this is just a collection of rocks lol.

Hey all! This is my first time posting here, and my first time being completely stumped by a find. I recently went to Fernandina Beach, Florida for vacation and picked up a bunch of shark teeth but also found a couple things I've never seen before. I was hoping someone could help! The first one is what I'm completely clueless about. It clearly looks like a tooth, but I have not idea what it could be from. The second appears to be a rib bone to me, but again, I don't know what it could be from. I'm not convinced the third one is a tooth because of the lack of pores and just the overall nature of it, but it has the shape of a tooth, and I just wanted to check and see if it maybe was. Thanks for any help you can offer, and if you need better pictures or different angles, let me know! IMG_7235.HEIC IMG_7233.HEIC IMG_7232.HEIC IMG_7228.HEIC IMG_7227.HEIC IMG_7224.HEIC IMG_7237.HEIC

Hi, folks! Was in Amelia Island over the weekend and found this weird fossil. Definitely bone, but seems like it is a partial vert or something. Just doesn’t feel quite right to conclude there.

Hello, I found what I think may be two fossils but I’m not totally sure. I’m really not terribly knowledgeable with all this. The first appears to be a bivalve impression fossil with at least 3 different shell imprints in the sample. I found this rock washed up on the beach at Amelia Island Florida (Atlantic side). It has several nice impressions in it. Is this a legit fossil or do you think something like concrete amalgamation? I don’t know… it just seemed really easy to find. If legit, any guess as to it’s age? The second sample was also found washed up on the beach at Amelia Island Florida. It looked bony to me based on its appearance and symmetry. Not sure if this represented some sort of fish or whale bone. Thanks again for any help!

Found some nice fossils during the storm caused by Fiona, especially pectens. Still working on a definitive ID for the flat pecten at the top. - it's the best example of that species I've found. @MikeR, any ideas? The teeth & burr fish mouth plate were pretty standard finds, but it is the best sting ray barb I've found so I was pretty happy. Soaked but happy!

Found recently on Amelia island. Almost certain I have a white shark tooth as well as a dolphin vertebra? Any other specifications would be great!

Hey everyone! My boyfriend and I go shark tooth hunting on the south end of Amelia Island, Florida frequently. Today we went to a new area. Close to a dredging site. I think we found a few fossils! They are all vertebrae of some sort. believe one to be a shark, one a fish, and the other 2, I am stumped on. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Longtime lurker, first time poster seeking ID assistance. I've collected for years and have hundreds of pieces from the Atlantic Ocean beaches of Northeastern Florida. I'll post a vertebra shortly that I'd love some help ID'ing, but I've never seen anything like the two pieces below that washed ashore post Hurricane this summer. If someone tells me they are geologic and not fossil, I wouldn't be shocked but they are stone, not shell, and have the same color and density as the other fossil bone shards I find on Cumberland Island in Georgia, Amelia Island in Florida and nearby. The larger piece is about 1.5 inches long, and the smaller is half that size.

Hi. i found this fossilized tooth a couple of years ago. It was found on the beach on the north end of Amelia Island, Florida. They dredge sand to restore the beach fairly often which makes for great sharks teeth finding. So. Is it a bison tooth? Any guesses on age? Thank you for helping me solve this mystery.

Hi all, I was going through the haul of Amelia Island shark teeth that I collected as a kid, and I found a vertebra that I had forgotten about among the teeth. Its quite small, maybe half a centimeter the long way. I'm pretty sure the thing is roughly Miocene aged along with the rest of the fossils that show up on Amelia beaches (Although my understanding is that they are pulled up through dredging so I could be completely wrong!). Its pretty heavily weathered from the ocean so I'm not expecting a miracle here, but I'd love to learn a bit more about my (re)discovery!
