    Peace river fossil IDS

    Found these two fossils while hunting the peace river wondering if anyone could ID them? If anyone needs additional photos please ask.

    Peace river fossil ID

    Found this fossil in a creek during my last trip my guess is that its a whale tooth or some kind of tooth. But I was wondering if anyone knows what it is? Along with possibly how old it could be? I found it on a creek near the peace river.

    Large Mammal Carpal

    Found on January 3rd, one of the bones to identify later, and now later has come. I went to a Fossil Club meeting and some experts there (Mark Renz, etc) felt it is a wrist bone, and did not recognize what mammal. 7 'views' of the find. The view below might be top of foot. Some 'chipping', especially on the last photo, but but basically this bone is all there is high quality preservation. If this is a Carpal (rather than Astragalus or Calcaneum) of 66 x 33 mm, it is from a LARGE mammal, say Rhino or Eremotherium. So that is where my thinking is going. I have not found any Rhino fossils at this site. I have looked at Metacarpal 2 (MC2) and the Unciform in this photo below which are close to the size (66 x 35 mm) of the find. I think close but not exact. But they are the best possibility SO FAR, and E. eomigrans was a Blancan fauna and I have found other E. eomigrans fossils at this location. Guidance on other possibilities or steps to investigate greatly appreciated... Jack

    Bos Taurus

    I went hunting today, 30 mph winds, Thundershowers at 3 pm, but high 70s !! and the water depth was not too deep.. Heavy winds, but shortened the day to try to avoid the rain. Here are all the finds... mostly little shark teeth and bones that I might be able to Identify... Left of the Broken shark vert, Nannippus peninsulatus M1 made my day... I have spent most of the evening trying to ID the tooth above it. In the sieve , I initially thought I had a strange Camelid upper premolar.. Camelid looking at one side , and I thought I had 3 roots instead of 4. I love the crenulated roots, had not noticed that on other teeth... Then I stared at this photo... Stylid meant Bovid for a really old individual and based on size (24 x 19 x 12 mm), can not be Bison.... I can barely believe that it is modern cow, modern float into my Blancan site. From ,, Morphological, isotopic and proteomic study of the Pleistocene and Holocene fauna of Cova dos Santos (Abadín, Lugo, NW Spain) This is a great chart Comparing Length/Width of 2 Teeth between Bison and Bos !!! Not getting out very often, but still Tridactyl and the cow made my day. Also I have a number of broken bones to analyze. Here is a broken bone... Comments appreciated... Fossil bone .. 20 mm diameter, obviously broken on left side.
  5. Found this hastalis shark tooth in a florida creek was just wanting to share, but also wanting to ask whats the biggest lesser great white tooth people have found or personal found. Ive only been fossil hunting for two years but this is my personal best hastalis tooth its about 2.7 inches.
  6. 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..
  7. 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??

    Bone Valley Fossils

    Since last year I’ve been to a commercial Bone Valley fossil operation in Wauchula for the best fossil hunting in Florida. They bring rich dirt from Bone Valley to Wauchula for people to find amazing fossils. The experience is unlike no other, it’s a dry dig, which means you do not get wet, you sift through the material exposing the most beautiful teeth and other fossils that have been preserved more than 2 million years. First 5 photos are some of my personal finds.
  9. So went back to the dry dig site today, hoping to find a 3”+ Meg. Did not find one. Did find 3 Megs, all under 2” though. And loooots of whale stuff. Tooth, ear bones, small verts. Also found some great Hemis, some horse teeth (3-toed? Pre-Equus? Not sure). Anyway, here we go: To start off, the Megs and Frags, happy with the complete Megs today, despite being small: Now all the Whale stuff! Tooth, ~3”, which is super cool: 2 ear bones: Allllll the bits of verts: Next up, the massive chunks of turtle shell I found: The horse teeth: Gomphothere teeth fragments: Misc Shark Teeth (+ Ray mouth plate that was multi-layered) I liked a lot, including a perfect, 1.6” Hemipristis Serra: And finally, the rest of the teeth I found: All in all came away with a bunch of fossils I really like, so a very productive day!
