As a new fossil hunter I am thrilled to have found what the Florida Museum of Natural History has determined to be "an important scientific discovery". After notifying the Museum of the find they have asked that the specimen be donated in accordance with Florida law. I am happy to do so. The specimen will be added to state's fossil collection for preservation and research. Specimen specifics:
Common/Scientific name - Parietobalaena (Kelloggithere) baleen whale ear bone
Geological formation/age - Miocene
Region where found - Hardee County, Florida USA
Museum/Univ. receiving fossil - Florida Museum of Natural History
